Madam Chair, I have read the estimates. There is a quarter of a billion dollars just for DND. Also, the government has not set zero tolerance as a goal. It has set 12% as a goal.
Last night in her speech on the estimates, the Treasury Board president read right from the estimates documents that the estimates are seeking Parliament's approval for spending, yet the estimates contained $7.1 million for a book fair in Frankfurt that has already happened.
Why is the government ignoring Treasury Board rules and asking for this money to be approved after the fact?
