Thank you.

The major item in your request to Parliament to appropriate funds is the compensation adjustments, and reading the supplementary estimates (C), it says:

Subject to the approval of the Treasury Board, to supplement other appropriations that may need to be partially or fully funded as a result of adjustments made to terms and conditions of service or employment....

We talk about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Forces, GIC appointees, and crown corporations.

In plainer English could you explain what these compensation adjustments are and why there is a request to Parliament at this time in the supplementary estimates (C) for $73 million?
