Thank you for that clarification.

Madam Minister, in budget 2024-25 main estimates for the TBS, I see that you're asking $9.3 billion in voted expenditure. When I did a little digging, I realized that's the fifth highest of any federal department. Can you please share the rationale behind this high degree of spending in your department? Can you explain what the initiatives are that this spending is being focused on?
