It is a big amount of money. The first thing that popped into my head when I read that article was that the billion dollars would go a long way to clear up the backlog. That money could be spent on that.
Honestly, hearing that all of that money was returned was a bit disheartening for us because, as I've said, we've been told regularly that the department is looking at ongoing funding. They just have to figure out where it's going to come from. To find out that the money was there is a bit disheartening.
