Thank you. To be clear, I know the Minister cares about the impact this money has on communities. That is not a doubt in my mind, and certainly, the Minister's word that he is taking this seriously, he is the one who first brought this to the floor, and I commend him for it because I think that shows clear leadership and management of government resources. However, the public service cannot go on just the words spoken in this House or even in a confidential FMB meeting. They need clear direction so that, when they carry out their budgeting exercises to review their projects, they have something to follow. I think it's important that, if we are having these conversations, that it does result in a policy that allows certainty and consistency in carry-over management to the public service. Can the Minister commit to looking at that or to making a decision whether or not policy direction is required, and, if so, can the Minister share that policy direction with the appropriate standing committee? Thank you.
