Thank you for that question.
Refocusing government spending was first announced in budget 2022 and was reannounced with bigger amounts in budget 2023. The wording from the budget is to reduce discretionary spending in terms of professional services by roughly 15% and to do the same in respect of operating expenditures and transfer payments, but by roughly 3%.
If you look at the budget, you will see that there is a financial profile that will show the amount over the years. This year, as stated by the minister, the amount was $500 million. It has been included in the supplementary estimates (B). You can also see an online annex. You will see the details by organization. We have 68 organizations.
Next year—
