I understand all that. I don't have a problem with that, Mr. Morency. What I want to know is why Transport Canada is the one making up for this shortfall. Under what program is it doing so? I have looked at the department's plans and priorities, Part III of the Main Estimates, and I have found nothing which would justify this transfer to the public. Where is the transparency? Why is $23,908 per year being transferred and then $181,000 per year, from Transport Canada's vote 1 to the NCC? I simply want to know how the government is justifying this transfer? How is the government justifying this transfer?
