Mr. Chairman, as I've said several times tonight, certainly this has some impact. It has minimal impact. But, Mr. Chairman, we pay deputy ministers and their staff a lot of money to manage departments, and they're very competent people in being able to do that. We wouldn't normally being doing this kind of micro-managing review here. If they don't have all the information here, then I would suggest go back to the business plan documents, go back to the main estimates we passed this spring, and take that information and compare it to this. You'll have it all there. This is not a new budget, as Ms. Lee is calling it. This is supplementary appropriations; changes, adjustments to the budget that we've already passed. So we can't provide all that same micro-detail on the budget again, we've gone through that process. Thank you.
