The operating reserve, which was used under the former system to meet cost overruns for approved programs, has been reduced significantly and will now serve primarily as a line of credit. The Treasury Board will manage the operating reserve and will give the highest priority to bridge-finance projects that will significantly increase productivity. In this regard, the Treasury Board will function as a banker and departments as borrowers who will have to repay these types of advances with interest. 1, record 1, English, - operating%20reserve

Sous l'ancien système, la réserve de fonctionnement servait à couvrir les dépassements de coûts des programmes prévus. Son rôle a été considérablement réduit; désormais, elle sera utilisée essentiellement comme ligne de crédit. Le Conseil du Trésor accordera la priorité aux projets à financement provisoire permettant d'augmenter nettement la productivité. À cet égard, le Conseil du Trésor jouera un rôle de banquier et les ministères seront des emprunteurs qui devront rembourser les avances plus les intérêts. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9serve%20de%20fonctionnement
