Senor Shatner is quite busy at the moment, on a special "black ops" mission for a Canadian Government Ministry that is so secret that to utter its name is cause for assassination. I assume that this makes preparing the budget quite difficult, but that's the Official Secret Secrets Act for you. I know this through my connections here in Washington who learned it from their counterparts in Ottawa who, as usual, are acting under orders from Washington, who are doing the. bidding of the Great Manatee and the rest of the Luxemburger Illuminati. The only suggestion I can give you is to stockpile boiled peanuts, yttrium, and magnolia blossoms for the coming debacle.
