Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to remind the members of the committee that we did not vote against the motion; we simply voted to adjourn the debate, just because we were taken by surprise. Normally, there is a spirit of co-operation within the committee. We will therefore consider the motion and we will have the opportunity to check whether it is satisfactory.
Thank you very much to all the witnesses who are here today.
Madam Minister, I have to ask you some questions about the Phoenix pay system. I know that you are requesting, through supplementary estimates (A), $13.6 million to stabilize the Phoenix pay system.
I'm concerned about the figure of $1.8 million to fund increased support services to employees with pay issues.
Did the employees use that money? Are requests to use those funds made by employees? I imagine there were issues.
