Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It does fluctuate from year to year. Some years it goes down, some years it goes up. It depends on a number of factors.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I ought to know that, but I can't remember. Can I get clarification on what constitutes this expenditure? Is that money coming out of the government or is it just something we keep an account of?

Yes, Mr. Chairman, it's an accounting entry that's required by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants public sector accounting concept. The accounting number is PS-3250. It's to recognize a liability for pensions due to interest in the amortization of past service gains and losses.
