Thank you for the question, Mr. Savage.
The amount reflected in the supplementary estimates is a result of an adjustment to the administrative formula in regard to charging the EI account versus funds that come from the consolidated revenue fund. The formula is updated on a three-year basis. Overall the level of funding available for the department has not changed; what has changed is the reflection of those activities that are fully supported by the account versus those that are non-EI in nature. With this latest adjustment, we've seen an increase to the appropriated amounts of roughly $60 million, with a corresponding decrease of $60 million on the EI side, but the total amount of money available to the department has not changed.
One way of saying it is that it is more of an accounting or a technical adjustment that is done on the review of the formula.
