I will continue by rounding out the answer of the Treasury Board President.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer mentioned that there was a $23 billion gap. Of that $23 billion gap, the 2022 budget has set aside an additional $8 billion for National Defence. That leaves $15 billion. The $15 billion is what you see in the federal budget compared to the estimates and the departmental plan for National Defence.
In fact, that $15 billion hasn't yet been approved by the Treasury Board. Once these amounts are approved by the Treasury Board, they will be included in supplementary estimates (A), (B) or (C). That is why there is a gap. There is a gap because the Treasury Board hasn't yet given its approval.
Until the expenditures are approved, we cannot present them to you for review.
