Let me go back to what I said earlier. We saw the expenditure table when the budget was announced in February. The Minister of Finance and the President of the Treasury Board have announced that this will ensure that the federal budget measures announced in February will be more in line with the main estimates. As I mentioned in my text, we welcomed this approach because it is something the minister has been asking to be done for two years.
When the supply bill was introduced, we were able to read the text of vote 40, which targeted only $7 billion, and we were a little confused. We had discussions with our colleagues in the House Administration on the procedure to follow. People all agreed that this committee was going to vote only on the $7 billion, without necessarily knowing the details of the table of measures, in which all the amounts are going to be aligned with the budget.
Therefore, we did our report and pointed out that it was not clear enough. I will use an expression that Ms. Mendes will understand: knowing is one thing, but seeing is believing. You did not see it and we did not see it either in the vote or in the description of the vote. So we said that we need a little more clarity.
