Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Deputy.
I hope everybody has a copy of the presentation. It is very short and I'll be very brief in addressing the highlights.
Basically we are here to present the supplementary estimates, which as you know increase the spending authority for the department and address items that have come forward since the tabling of the main estimates, which was done earlier. There are also supplementary (B) estimates, which will be tabled in the winter.
On the next slide you will see the increase of $133 million that we requested through the supplementary estimates. You can see how that portions out across the vote structure of the department. I should add that this does not include the carry forward from last year, which is another $41 million, so basically you can add that figure to the total, which would essentially give us our spending authority for the year.
On the last slide, which is rather busy, we have categorized the increases that make up that figure of $133 million. I want to go through all these; we'll certainly address any questions if there are any.
I would just highlight the first item, which is the funding for the small craft harbours program, which I know is of interest to this committee. That essentially establishes the $20 million as an ongoing addition to our A-base for that particular program.
That's really all I intended to say, Mr. Chair. We'd be prepared to answer any questions, if there are any.
