I want to really understand. Initially, you're asking for $88 million for an increase in statutory expenditures. These are expenditures that were not accounted for in the budget initially. If they are statutory, why not include them in the regular PWGSC budgets?

Then you are seeking $14.4 million for costs associated with additional office facility requirements. That brings us to just over $100 million. That is a great deal of money that has not been accounted for in the budget.
