Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the process that is used when a department does come into agreement with an authority on the numbers goes forward to FMB. If that is recognized, it is then included in the supplementary process. That is the process used. The policy was established quite some years ago when the idea of surpluses could be kept with authorities. We also had to address the other side if an authority made decisions to over expend in areas, there had to be a recovery plan. That recovery plan is worked through the authority and through the Department of Health and Social Services. It would be appropriate that the Minister, when decisions have been made, to inform committee that these things are outstanding. The practice is, for example, if a decision is made to agree with a deficit recovery plan, the Minister would approach the appropriate Members. As a result, they may see some decline in services. But that process is ongoing as well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
