Mr. Speaker, can the President of the Treasury Board confirm that the bill is in its usual form?
Tony Clement ConservativePresident of the Treasury Board
Mr. Chair, I can give a little more fulsome reply. The proportions requested in the bill are intended to provide for all necessary requirements of the federal public administration up to the second supply period in fiscal year 2015-16. In no instance is the total amount of an item being released by the bill. The form of this bill is the same as that passed in the previous supply period.
The passing of the bill will not prejudice the rights and privileges of members to criticize any item in the estimates when they come up for consideration in committee. The usual undertaking is hereby given that such rights and privileges will be respected and will not be curtailed or restricted in any way as a result of the passing of this measure.
