Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the officials for spending the hour with us today. We appreciate the opportunity to ask some questions.
Whoever is in charge of whatever I ask, please go right ahead and jump in and answer. I won't say who I'm asking it to.
Going through the estimates on the Canada training benefit, there were some discrepancies between the numbers from the budget and the PBO's cost estimates that came as a partner to that. There are two areas specifically, and I just want clarification on what might be the reasons for the discrepancy and some of the issues to that.
The first one was the cost of the training credit itself. There's a discrepancy of about $60 million on that. Budget 2019 has a net cost of $710 million, while the PBO's cost estimate has a total net cost of $770 million, a $60-million discrepancy. Can anybody address the reasoning for that? Maybe there are updated numbers.
