I will share my floor time with my colleague.
Let us consider the government's strategic review of 2010. We see that the Office of Infrastructure of Canada made some $48.4 million in cuts, almost reaching the strategic review target. However, we see here, in supplementary estimates (B) for 2011-2012, that given all the supplementary votes requested, the budgetary expenditures of the Office of Infrastructure increased by 25%, going from $4.9 billion to $6.1 billion.
I would simply like someone to explain to me which funds have been eliminated. What is the total of the paid contributions if we take into account the cutbacks and the increase of 25%? They say that the budget has decreased, but in reality, it has increased by 25%. There needs to be a balance between what has been reduced and what has ben increased. Why was this amount reduced? Where was the money invested—the requested 25%?
