Yes, of course.
Frozen allotments are not available for expenditures and must lapse unless otherwise directed by the Treasury Board.
We know that freezing allotments is a normal tool to ensure that resources are managed prudently. They can be used to enforce conditions that the Treasury Board assigns to funding or to re-profile funds to a future year.
Right now in the supplementary estimates (C), Crown-Indigenous Relations is frozen for a settlement, as the timing of the settlement payments is difficult to predict right now. The contaminated sites remediation is frozen right now because it's taking a bit more time to be able to deliver on this.
That's why we have that tool, which permits us to freeze allotments.
