Mr. Chairman, you have read the Financial Administration Act in consideration of all of the articles within it. You have to go to other ones, for example, I will go to section 32(1), which reads:
"... the Board on the recommendation of the Minister responsible for an item may transfer funds among activities set out in the estimates on which the appropriate item is based if the amount appropriated for the item as a whole is not increased."
That gives the Financial Management Board Secretariat the authority to make those kind of interactivity transfers. Then that one was delegated too, through a directive in April, 1997, from the [inaudible] to Ministers the authority to adjust and make transfers among activity and control object budgets within the appropriation and be adjusted, make transfers activity, control object, and project budgets within the appropriation under vote 1 and vote 2, capital.
When you look at the Financial Administration Act, you cannot just read one article of it and not look at what each of the articles say and any of the changes that have been made by directive. Mr. Chairman, it gives the authority for the board to make the adjustment. The board has delegated that to the Minister and the Minister has the authority to make the interactivity transfer. This has not changed since 1997. Thank you.
