Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Minister, over the last 10 years or so, there's been close to $9.8 billion or $9.9 billion returned to the Treasury Board from the Department of National Defence.

Are those funds being made available again to the Canadian Armed Forces, or have they been put back into consolidated revenue?

See context to find out what was said next.
