The former Auditor General submitted a request for additional funding through the budget process. He wrote to the Minister of Finance in 2017 as part of the 2018 budget process and identified a need for, I think—I'm going on my memory here—$21 million. We got some of it. We got $8 million in the 2018 budget. He wrote again last summer for not quite all of the difference because everything had evolved in the meantime. He didn't ask for the full difference; he asked for a little bit less than that. The difference would have been $13 million and he asked for $10.8 million. That's basically to be able to deliver on our mandate.
Much of our mandate is mandatory, such as auditing the financial statements of the various organizations. We can't not do them. The number increased. We also have an additional mandate related to the commissioner of the environment, where we have to do some work. In the past there were, I think, 26 entities that we had to review. I think it's now up to 93. It's all of those challenges, along with updating our technology, which is outdated. We need all of those things done to be able to deliver on our mandate.
