I'm going to interrupt you for two seconds. It doesn't vary from year to year. It sits at around $3 million. I'll tell you it was $3 million, $3 million, $2 million, $3 million, $3 million and $2 million. Then it goes up to $368 million.
It doesn't vary from year to year. It sits at around $3 million. In the last couple of years it has gone way out. We have had an issue in the past with a vote 40 and the money from the A2.11 in the budget lacking oversight. The PBO has been critical of this, as well as the previous PBO and the PBO before that. It takes away transparency from Canadians and the ability of parliamentarians to do their job of oversight of spending.
All of a sudden we have $370 million in vote 10 and it's used for a non-strategic purpose.
Why? Will we see an end to this practice with you as the president of the Treasury Board?
