The board, of course, determines the levels of funding for each of the budgets that are made available for members of Parliament, meaning things like the members' operating budget and travel status budget, in addition to setting policies regarding travel and so on.
In addition, it oversees the House administration, so when resources are required, the request comes to the board. The board is given a presentation by Mr. Watters and Madam O'Brien, and it then makes a decision thereon.
That's the function the board serves: it determines the needs of members, determines the levels of funding, and then seeks the appropriate funding through the estimates.
