Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our officials for joining us today.

Madame Boudreau, congratulations on your new appointment.

My first question is to you or anybody who can answer. The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat has the fifth highest number of voted expenses in these main estimates at $9.3 billion. What rationale is there behind the spending within your department, and how is there a value-add for the Canadian taxpayer in the services delivered by TBS?
