In the Main Estimates, I saw that the amount the Treasury Board Secretariat requested to monitor expenditures went from $44 million in 2022‑2023 to over $5 billion in 2024‑2025. That is more than one giant step. We just crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific in a single bound.

What can explain this extraordinary increase for a budget request to monitor expenditures?
