Correct.
Mr. Chair, the question is around the gas tax. The way Parliament approves money is annual; if money is not spent in a given year, it lapses. If the department wishes to spend that money, they need to come back to Parliament and get permission to spend that money.
Because departments are not allowed to exceed their appropriations—it's against the law to spend more than what Parliament has appropriated—departments estimate the most they can spend. When you're dealing with things like the gas tax, where you're negotiating with provincial and municipal governments, there are often delays in spending. This is a case where the ideal was to spend some of that money in the previous year. It didn't happen and they're moving into the current year, but because Parliament appropriates money annually, we have to come back for that money again this year.
