Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will start by talking about the link between estimates and budget, because as the member mentioned, this is a Finance-type question.
When Finance does the budget, they are aware that there will be additional spending requirements beyond main estimates, so don't view this as a surprise in terms of additional requirements. These are things that were largely forecast in previous budgets, but departments are effectively now ready to start spending the money. Finance's borrowing plans would be more based on planned spending. Supplementary estimates mean that the department has now properly designed its program and is ready to spend.
