Mr. Chair, obviously, if I'm wrong about this, I will bring a correction back, but my understanding is that the Office of the Oil and Gas Regulator puts together their financial budgeting, just the same as any other department. It does go to the Department of Finance to be compiled together with all the main estimates that then come before the committee in the same fashion as the other items that the numbers that are here are generally put together through a business planning process. Obviously, all of the main estimates here didn't have quite the same business planning process because of the fall election, but in general, that was my understanding is that is how these numbers are generated. When I say it's the same as the others, obviously, it operates somewhat differently than a department because it is somewhat more at arm's length and doesn't have a deputy minister specifically other than deputy minister of Justice but it has an executive officer in charge. The numbers are otherwise put together in a similar fashion.
