It certainly is an issue, I think, because the costing information isn't aligned to the same time period; as I said, it's very easy to miss the big picture for that reason. First of all, the financial cycle, the time, is mandated through the standing orders, but because of budget secrecy, it wasn't possible for the government to put out the contents of the budget and have that information available at the same time.
D'abord et avant tout, c'est le Règlement qui dicte le cycle financier, mais il n'est pas possible pour le gouvernement, en raison du secret budgétaire, d'inclure le contenu du budget en rendant cette information disponible au même moment.
