I did ask the assistant minister this question last night in committee, and I'm still yet to receive a clear response. I hope officials who've been beavering away overnight will actually respond. For the $18 million in the budget that this authority will have a financial impact with, what projects have been cut to offset cost of the authority? I note $8 million of departmental funding. Can I have more detail about where in the department that's come from? That's quite a lot of money. For the $10 million out of the previous agency's funding, I would like to understand which area of the agency that came from. Was it project money, was it stationery or staples? Could the minister give me more clarity around the $18 million?
