Mr. Chair, the last time the President of the Treasury Board introduced a spending bill, he forgot the numbers, and were it not for the tender mercies of the compassionate official opposition that allowed the mistake to be overlooked, whole sections of the Government of Canada would have shut down and many public servants would have gone without a paycheque.

In light of that history, I wonder if the President of the Treasury Board can confirm this time if he has in fact read the bill and if it is in its normal form.

Mr. Chair, I want the House and the hon. member to know how much I appreciate his tenderness.

The form of this bill is the same as that passed in the previous supply period.
