Mr. Speaker, what I do know is that the Department of National Defence has enjoyed a billion-dollar increase in our budget, thanks to the support of the Minister of Finance and our Prime Minister. That has allowed us to embark on new procurements. It has allowed us to put new programming in place to support our men and women in uniform.
The department's spending is reported through public accounts that are tabled in the fall. The public accounts will reflect those year-by-year adjustments.
