Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for coming in this morning. We are seeking clarification because as a committee we believe it is our responsibility to ensure that this money flows, and flows in the direction it is intended to. We appreciate your efforts in making us more aware of our responsibilities and of the ways in which we might carry them out.
I need a number of things for clarification. There is a lot of muddy water, and I hope not to exacerbate that situation. I am hoping to bring some clarity, and I seek some.
First, it is my understanding that the $3 billion in vote 35 cannot fund anything that has not already been outlined in the budget. Is that correct?
