Bonjour.
For the Secretariat as a department, the total supplementary estimates amount to $1.8 billion.
In terms of program expenditures, we have a number of items in supplementary estimates (B). One, the first one, is for the workspace renewal initiative. This is a six-year project that started in 2011-12 to consolidate ten office locations of the Treasury Board Secretariat into two, to modernize the offices, and to reduce office space by over 30%.
On slide 8 you'll also note that this is a horizontal initiative, because both our department and Shared Services Canada are receiving money. We get $4 million, and Shared Services Canada will receive $3 million, because they are responsible for the IT infrastructure in our new workspace.
The second point is funding to renew the joint learning program. This is a joint program between the Treasury Board Secretariat and the Public Service Alliance of Canada that has been in place since 2001 to do co-development of training for employees.
You will also see a transfer from the Treasury Board Secretariat to Public Works and Government Services. This is an extension, which started in 2011-12, of the human resources modernization project that we've been working on for many years. The Treasury Board has developed a pilot solution, and this will be transferred to Public Works and Government Services to fully implement the solution.
The other two transfers are very small.
The last item is a travel reduction of $107,000. That is a cut of 5% of our total travel budget from 2012-13.
On the next slide there are a number of central votes, which are managed out of Bill Matthews' area. He has already covered the first two, and I'll let him cover the balance of the slide until the last one.
