I take it this is a budget projection and therefore, with the programs that the Minister has outlined, it still is a $5 million increase. I would hope that the Minister can really enforce and try and do what he can in this particular area. It is the biggest budget item in the whole support and health services administration. The concern, Mr. Chairman, are those four areas represent the $12 million increase in the budget. The request I have, looking at the whole budget for this particular area, support health services administration, it is $98 million this year, that is larger than many of our departments, in financial terms. I would hope that the Minister could supply further information on this particular area, specifically for next year's budget. This is very summarized into one page and it certainly does not tell me a lot about where the expenditures have taken place. I wonder if the Minister could commit to providing more detail in future budgets in the business plans?
