Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm back to this being an audit emergency. This government loves to use wording like that and, to me, we keep seeing all these words. Since 1977, you've had that ability to go in front of the House, but it's never been used. We're back to the idea that the Auditor General has never been underfunded and they've never cancelled audits. All the flags are up here, and I still go back to why the government has chosen not to fund this.
I'm just quickly trying to get a handle on the numbers I heard on this government's spending increase.
I will go to you, Mr. Leswick. Did program spending go from $250 billion to $329 billion? Was that the right number? I'm trying to work out the gist as far as the Auditor General's budget goes. I'm trying to work out the math on the massive increase in program spending. Is that 31%? Was that math right? Was it from $250 billion to $329 billion?
