Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, that comes under the budget of Public Works and Government Services Canada.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I thought you were asking whether it was coming out of our budget or the RCMP's budget. It is the RCMP's budget. I have no doubt—

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I believe the RCMP has its own budget, which is independent of the Department of Justice's budget. I have no doubt that this is causing some difficulty, but it is necessary all the same; we all saw what happened when there was inadequate staff.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, that does not come out of these budgets. We are pursuing our discussions with the Department of Public Works and Government Services with respect to the long-term plan for renovating the Parliamentary precinct. I have to say that it is nevertheless quite frustrating. The fact that these are heritage buildings is causing problems.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  This is the heritage of all Canadians. We all hope the money can be found to implement the plan.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Exactly.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Some Members may want to buy personal insurance if their office contains works of art or that sort of thing. Perhaps Ms. Kennedy could explain how things work when such a terrible thing occurs, like the fire that broke out in M. Dechert's office.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It comes out of the RCMP budget.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The collective agreements which have been ratified and which you see in the Supplementary Estimates are collective agreements which go back a certain amount of time and were negotiated based on the former Expenditure Restraint Act, which kept wage increases at 1.5%. That was negotiated until the end of 2009-2010.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  These are, of course, extremely unfortunate events. The usual thing would be to advise me and to advise the chief financial officer. Just to come back to your IT frustrations, one of the things that was addressed in here with this additional money for the CCN network is, in fact, to address those ridiculous delays of six weeks that we were stuck with initially.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  In the case of Mr. Dechert, I'm not sure exactly what has transpired with him. It ought not to be the case that he's borrowing chairs from the library, and committees are meeting even as he's standing on the sidewalk trying to deal with his constituents. That's not to make light of a very difficult situation; I will pursue that with him this very afternoon, and we'll take it from there.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It is possible to do that, and Louis will do it right now.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  With regard to the number, the 402 million, that's single sheets, not dollars.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No.
