Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for joining us. I want to take this opportunity to wish happy holidays to you and your family, as well as to all public service employees who are working extremely hard, be it for us or for Canadians.
I will continue in the vein of the questions asked by my colleague Pat Martin, the NDP critic for this committee. He talked about the military component. You said that $20 million was added to the military component and that this accounted for 50% of the total. We can assume that a $20-million amount was allocated to the standard component, for a total of $40 million.
Research, development and innovation in the military field have helped develop tools that are just as practical in everyday life—such as the laser used in surgery. That is a very innovative field.
Besides that $20-million amount, was any other funding allocated to the military, or was that amount simply transferred from another department to this one, which our committee is responsible for studying?
