Thanks, Chair.
My question does relate directly to the supplementary estimates (B) before us. I must say as a Canadian taxpayer that I find it extraordinary that our colleagues from the opposition would move a motion about information from the Parliamentary Budget Officer while a minister is in front of the committee, a minister with a very extensive team prepared to answer questions about the detail of the supplementary estimates (B). It's a sad commentary on the seriousness with which they treat national defence issues.
My question is about the Canadian Forces service income security insurance plan. Given the exchange between John McKay and the minister earlier, I'd like our witnesses to clarify that the only money thus far announced through the estimates process in these supplementary estimates is indeed $205 million, and to add what this funding will be used for and why it's sought at this time.
