Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I wanted to go into the supplementary estimates (C) a little bit. There are two transfers of around $331,000 to support departmental staff located at missions abroad. I'm assuming that's part of Operation Provision—
It's not? Then, what was that money for?
For Operation Provision, where is that money budgeted? We definitely had troops abroad. We had to provide force protection for those troops who were helping Citizenship and Immigration Canada in the refugee screening process. There are also the costs associated with converting summer barracks into winter barracks to winterize those barracks for the possible settlement of Syrian refugees at Valcartier, Trenton, Kingston, Borden, and others. To my understanding, those haven't even been used yet.
Where are those costs coming from? Is this coming out of ordinary operational budgets of the Canadian Armed Forces? Is it really fair to winterize barracks that weren't used?
