Mr. William Beausang:

The Deputy will not be surprised to hear that this plays out in the context of the Estimates. Every Department brings forward proposals for how its budget could be increased to meet the needs it is responsible for. We did that in the context of this year's budget, as we did for last year's budget and the Government responded, through engagement on the Estimates with the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform in the first instance and then with final decision-making on the budget. That is the process we went through this year, which is the same as the one we go through every year.
