Government Operations committee  As for the budget's financial profile, you will find $500 million allocated for this year, 2023-24, and we intend to provide more details in one of the supplementary estimates this year. The other amount will be included in next year's main estimates for 2024-25, as per the financial profile in the federal budget.

Government Operations committee  The main estimates were tabled on March 1, as per the Standing Orders of the House of Commons. As you know, the budget was tabled at the end of March. Having said that, if you look carefully in the supplementary estimates (A), you will see all of the budget 2023 items that have already been included in the supplementary estimates (A).

Government Operations committee  As I was saying, you will find here all of the new requirements in the supplementary estimates (A). You will find all of the tagging to the federal budget. You will find, as well, all the horizontal items that are for more than one department. You will find an online annex with all essential votes that we have under the Treasury Board Secretariat—the opening balances and everything that has been used over the course of the year.

Government Operations committee  It is related to interest increases. The amount you have in front of you matches what is included in budget 2023. If you have more questions, those will be for the Minister of Finance.

Government Operations committee  Thank you. Actually, it was to increase transparency. We were told several times that it is very important to clearly indicate what is included in Vote 10, that is, government-wide initiatives. We took the opportunity this year to highlight all central votes. There is a lot of transparency; we know what the opening balance is.

Government Operations committee  Yes, but I would add that this amount has been not changed in 20 years. It has never increased, not even to allow for inflation.

Government Operations committee  That is reprofiled funding. It is money that was not used last year. The department asked us to carry the funding forward to the Supplementary Estimates (A) so it can be used. As to the supplier, we will have to provide additional information later on. It is not new funding though.

Government Operations committee  I won't be able to answer your question.

Government Operations committee  I have no answer for you. The best person to respond would be the accounting officer, who would be the deputy ministers in each respective department and agency.

Government Operations committee  Thank you.

Government Operations committee  As the minister mentioned, tomorrow she will be tabling the DPs, the departmental plans, in which you will see the three-year commitment by departments in terms of the money that they have available, and also the FTEs they are going to be able to pay with the existing funding. Those will be tabled tomorrow.

Government Operations committee  The $167.8 million is divided this way. Operation Impact has $106.7 million. Operation Reassurance has $56.6 million. Operation Presence has $4.5 million.

Government Operations committee  Funding for Operation Reassurance is not expected to be affected by Canada's support to Ukraine. Canada remains committed to both our partners in Ukraine and our allies in NATO.

Government Operations committee  The amount that we find in supplementary estimates (C) represents roughly 1% of the portfolio. This is also consistent with the amount that you saw last year in supplementary estimates (C). It's always about 1% of the portfolio.

Government Operations committee  The mix between personnel and professional services is, at the end of the day, a decision from the accounting officer. All deputy ministers in each organization will look at the priorities and at the skill shortages, and they will decide what's the best way for them to split the money in order to be able to deliver their own mandates.
