Okay.

We've also seen some concerns about the government spending review and the impact it will have on the armed forces. We see in the estimates approximately $584 million for compensation and benefits for the Canadian Armed Forces. I believe I've heard it stated before that the refocused spending will not impact the CAF. Would you be able to speak to the impact of the funding within the supplementary estimates (B)?

Thank you.
