Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here. It's one of my favourite topics, the estimates. I submitted a few questions in advance and will try to stick to them, but I may come off them a little bit.
Maybe you could answer this for me. This year's estimates book was excellent. It showed how much difference...a 22% difference that the As, Bs, and Cs, the supplementaries made, in terms of costs. Actually, we spent $309 billion last year, mostly, I'm assuming, due to stimulus. Would you concur that your budget is up? For your department alone, it's at $2.4 billion, whereas you're normally around $1 billion. Is it mainly because of stimulus?
