Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank the minister for joining us today and for offering to be helpful in answering questions.
First, although there are not significant increases in the requests for funding here, I would have expected that there might have been some significant differences between what we saw in the budget and the original main estimates and what we have here, particularly in view of the letter the Prime Minister sent you in June. It suggested that there was unhappiness with the level of the changes expected to be made in terms of reducing current overhead, etc. I think the minister is aware of the letter.
I wonder if you could tell us why we're not seeing anything here that reflects some of the matters mentioned in the letter, including some of the matters we saw in General Leslie's report of last August.
