Great. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome to the minister and her staff.
It's always a challenge when we're dealing with estimates, because we have to deal with the facts and figures that are before us and not what could be coming in the supplementary estimates. When you look at the department's report on plans and priorities for Health Canada, it shows that there will be cuts of $140 million from first nations and Inuit primary health care in the next three years. It goes from $980 million to $850 million. When you just look at the year 2012-13 in comparison with 2013-14, Health Canada will be reducing its spending by $40.5 million.
In your opening remarks, Minister, I understood you to indicate that there will be additional funds coming through the supplementary estimates. Could you tell me exactly how much? Is it $52 million that will be in the supplementary estimates for additional spending?
