Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is a pretty broad question in terms that it affects all departments, the whole government. The quick answer is yes. Certainly before we ask for new additional funding, given our fiscal situation, we do look across the government and make the decision on that basis. Mr. Miltenberger knows each department does do its own budget, to some degree, in a bit of a stove pipe. In the end it all has to come back to the Financial Management Board and that is where all of the pieces have to be put together. In this case, definitely, we have looked across government and have determined the money needed here does represent a new initiative that has to be found through new money.
