Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for joining us. I also want to thank the minister for spending the first hour with us.
Last time you appeared, while we were discussing certain aspects of the budget, we realized that there were cuts to various services within your department.
Have those cuts been made? I would like some clarifications about that. If you cannot provide them to us today, you could perhaps promise to send them to us. Regarding staff, one of the things we need to know is where the Department of Justice stands. Some savings were supposed to have been made. You will see how this is related to this new budget request. We are talking about supplementary estimates here.
You and department representatives told us last time that cuts had been made, but that there should be no impacts. We would like to know whether that's actually the case. We would also like some details regarding this situation.
Why do you need all the other extra amounts requested besides additional funds? Has some sort of an error been made? I think you understand the gist of my question.
