Finance committee  Mr. Chair, I will have to ask one of my colleagues in tax to come to the table to speak to the details of the CITCAs.

Finance committee  Thank you for the question. I'll refer to my colleague, Mr. Pagan, to respond.

Finance committee  I'm sorry, I can't speak on behalf of another department. I can't speak on behalf of the CRA.

Finance committee  I'm sorry. We were asked to come behalf of the department's supplementary estimates.

Finance committee  The $16 million for the Department of Finance was part of supplementary estimates (A). My colleague can speak to the campaigns.

Finance committee  That's correct.

Finance committee  We provided a response with respect to our reductions, in alignment with the government estimates process in the program activity information.

Finance committee  We responded with respect to aligning our response to the program activity architecture of the department, which supports the estimates process. We're here today to respond to the committee's questions on the estimates.

Finance committee  We have received $16 million in the current fiscal year for EAP advertising. That's correct.

Finance committee  Yes. They're under different statutory authorities.

Finance committee  I can't speak for the other departments that are listed for advertising. I can only speak on behalf of Finance.

Finance committee  Mr. Chair, could I have my colleague Mr. Catta come to the table to speak to advertising?

Finance committee  The $.2 million is a reprofile of funding from last fiscal year to the current fiscal year. The funding will be used to support the department's ongoing litigation with the Federation of Law Societies of Canada to defend the constitutionality of the legislation.

Finance committee  I know with the estimates process, I believe Treasury Board Secretariat officials met with committee to talk about the estimates process. Did you wish to speak on the budget process?

Finance committee  Do you want to speak to that, Chantal?
