Madam Chair, I could provide further explanation for that. Since the committee has moved into hybrid sittings, we have had two or three members showing up in person, so the meals that have been ordered have ranged from about three to four meals per meeting for those members. There is a unit cost associated with each of the catering orders, which is the minimum that the House budgets for. However, I can also assure you that the actual unit costs that are being charged to the committee are significantly less, and that generally the meals are consisting of sandwiches, a drink and a little side order of vegetables.
