Justice committee As Chair, I just want to say I've been honoured to be the chair and I want to thank you for the work this committee has done. Just so you know, nothing was referred to this committee in the BIA, the budget implementation bill. There is a chance that there might be something in supps (A).

The ChairConservative
Justice committee Okay, I'll let you answer.

Justice committee I have one more very quick question. Maybe I am completely misreading the English or don't understand. Under “Contributions”, it says “Contributions from the Victims Fund”. Shouldn't it be contributions “to” the victims fund?
May 13th, 2015Committee meeting
The ChairConservative
Justice committee I don't understand. Are we not voting to give money to the fund?
May 13th, 2015Committee meeting
The ChairConservative
Justice committee If you are getting money from the victims fund, Donald, we should put little brackets around it, I think, and get it back.

Justice committee That is actually my time. You're getting off a little bit.... I did a comparison. I have one last little question on the plans and priorities document. There are some evaluation criteria; you have 60% in support of the criminal justice system in there somewhere. It is the same as the year before.

The ChairConservative
Justice committee Okay, thank you. First of all, I wanted to thank the officials for joining us today and answering those questions. I know that dealing with estimates can sometimes be difficult for you, and I appreciate your coming. We do have a series of votes on the estimates. We'll do that first, and then I have a comment.

Justice committee Shall the chair report vote 1 under the Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada, vote 1 under the Canadian Human Rights Commission, votes 1 and 5 under Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs, vote 1 under Courts Administration Service, votes 1 and 5 under Justice, vote 1 under the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and vote 1 under the Supreme Court of Canada to the House, less amounts granted in interim supply?

Justice committee Don't worry. It will be on division and I will report, as Madam Boivin pointed out, that this was done by another committee who had met a mere 39 times or something, so I'm going to make sure we point out that we met 76 times. Mr. Dechert, you have the floor first.
May 13th, 2015Committee meeting
The ChairConservative
Justice committee I appreciate that. Just so I have a clear understanding, I had to underline here the net vote revenue and I would ask, does it net to zero? Are you recovering all the money? Does your invoice cover all your costs?

Justice committee What is the difference between a grant and a contribution?
May 13th, 2015Committee meeting
The ChairConservative
Justice committee The minister—rightly so—compared the main estimates of this year to the main estimates of last year and noted that there's an increase. The actual expenditure is higher because of pay list and a number of other things that come into being. I don't think we had supplementary estimates (C) at this committee, but in the estimates to date that we see in the actual piece of 2014-15 it's an 8.2% increase.
