Ms. Annie Boudreau (Chief Finances, Results and Delivery Officer, Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs) at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Good evening.

Thank you.

You will remember that when we went to present the supplementary estimates (B), we had a big amount of about $1 billion for loan forgiveness. It was one amount for one time, so you cannot find that this time around in the total main estimates, because the amount was only for one year. That will explain a big reduction from last year to this year.
