I just want to understand how this process goes forward. So the tribunal is announced. Does the tribunal come back to Treasury Board and say, “We estimate that with the damage that's been done we're going to need a budget of approximately such and such”? Does Treasury Board then approve the money the tribunal sets up?
One of the powers of government involves staffing and money. You can have a budget, the parliamentary officer can have lots of money or little, and that will affect the job they do. A tribunal is affected the same way. So do the tribunal officers make that pitch to government and then government approves the funds? I want to understand how the process works and who has the power over the cash.
