Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'll direct this question to the PMPRB. You appeared before the health committee in the winter of 2009 regarding the supplementary estimates and indicated that similar to the additional funds awarded in the main estimates, a significant increase in the workload had produced a need for more funds. However, the main estimates for 2007-08 awarded the PMPRB almost $11.5 million, while the main estimates for 2006-07 only awarded $6.5 million, and you were then given an additional $4.5 million in the supplementary estimates.
So could you clarify this for me? The way I'm reading this is that perhaps rather than having a dramatic budget increase between the main and supplementary estimates, you have actually been relatively stable over time.
