Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, each department goes through the exercise of building their budgets. Within each director position and so on there would be forms for substantiation requesting dollars for areas of travel or other budget areas. So each department would build their budget up and require some travel and go forward on that basis. Now, they'd have to substantiate what they're going to spend their dollars on and how much they've highlighted for specifically travel in certain areas.

Now, Mr. Speaker, we should be clear that the figures that were used by the Member of the $22 million figure also includes that of medical travel and other things that we consider as non-discretionary. I believe the discretionary amount of travel adjusted for 2002-2003 would be in the area of $13 million. Thank you.
