Merci.
The issue there, and the request for the $1.6 million in supplementary estimates (B), is to support the Canadian Judicial Council, which is one of the mandates of our office, in respect of their conduct and inquiry work this fiscal year. They presently have, or they had until the other day, three ongoing public inquiries into the conduct of judicial judges. These are very serious inquiries that could result in a recommendation that the judges be removed from office. The Douglas inquiry was a very hard fought one.
The $1.6 million was our anticipated best estimate of what the costs would be for these three inquiries for the balance of this fiscal year.
