If I remember correctly, last year, it was just over $3 billion. That's a massive increase compared to $44 million for 2022-23. It sure made my jaw drop.
Under the Treasury Board Secretariat's core responsibilities and internal services, for 2022-23, $44,076,954 was earmarked for spending oversight. For 2023-24, I said it was $3 billion, but it was actually $2,680,659,291. I'm sorry. It went from $44 million to over $2.5 billion, and this year it's over $5 billion.
What is spending oversight, and what justifies spending $5 billion on it, when it was $44 million two years ago?
