This is quite a saga, this summer jobs program. You've referred to some of it.
About a year ago, the government announced a cut of $55 million in the summer jobs. Then without any further announcement, they came back in the spring—you had come in as minister—and indicated, no, it's going to be about $85 million, $11 million less than the Liberal program, $77 million of which would be for the not-for-profit sector. But there had been no announcement up until then that the $55 million was cut. We asked you that question at this committee in the spring.
So we go from a $55 million cut. And it wasn't a $55 million cut; it appeared to be a $10 million cut. When everything went crazy in the ridings and we started getting calls from organizations, we asked the question, is there more money going in? We were told, no, it's the same amount of money. And when reallocations were made, we were told at this committee that this was the normal process, that there are some people who apply and are turned down, and it would be reallocated to people who had applied.
In essence, what you're saying is that you're spending about $10 million more than the previous government did, based on a plan to spend $10 million less.
