The one vote accessed those other votes, and the permission that was given for that expenditure was allowed to be made by the $3 billion fund if it fit those criteria, so our request was for all of the expenditures that are being spent under vote 35. Your answer was that “because it comes under all those other votes, I can't do that”. The chair responded this way, and I'll quote from his May 27 letter:
While expenditures may not be incurred against Vote 35, this vote is being used to support expenditures through other votes. Also, the Supplementary Estimates and the quarterly reports will be less frequent than the Committee had requested. Thus, the Committee would still like to receive weekly reports of what expenditures are being supported by Vote 35, even if those expenditures are incurred against other votes.
In plain language, what is your response to that, please?
