Mr. Chair, I would like to let you know right off the bat that I will be using my full 15 minutes for questions. We have lots of questions.
I will start with the minister. The information from the Parliamentary Budget Officer's integrated monitoring database shows that by the third quarter of the last fiscal year the department had spent 108% of its budget for internal services, the so-called back office expenses.
Can the minister tell us what the total amount of overspending on back office services was in the last fiscal year, and if money is being used from these estimates to cover the gap?
