First of all, Mr. Chair, I want to point out this is a highly unusual matter to be coming before this committee. This is not the correct committee for this. Perhaps the government operations committee would be the correct one--maybe not that one, either--but certainly not this committee.
The government has made it clear that our commitment to Parliament is to report on vote 35 on a quarterly basis. These reports will be done through supplementary estimates and through regular reports to Parliament on the economic action plan.
This morning, the president of the Treasury Board tabled the 2009-10 supplementary estimates (A) in the House of Commons. I happen to have a copy right here. In these supplementary estimates, it clearly points out where the initial funds of $1.187 billion have gone in the period from April 1 to April 30.
So we're talking about two weeks after the end of the period. We already have a detailed explanation of where these funds have gone. This is the normal procedure that we will report it in. I think it's highly unusual that it would be reported on a weekly basis. It would be an onerous exercise for the Comptroller General, and I am firmly against it.
