Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, again, gentlemen, for joining us this morning. We appreciate your candidness and your openness this morning.
We do have a number of questions with regard to stimulus spending. As a committee we believe there's an importance to be placed on two different objectives. One objective is that there be accountability with the money that is leaving so that we have assurances that the money going out be spent on the projects for which it was intended, and secondly, that it be done in a timely manner. So we appreciate your assurance on both of those fronts that this is happening.
Out of curiosity, I'm just seeking an additional assurance this morning. For the $3 billion, vote 35, will all of the allocation of that money to the different departments undergo the challenge function within the Treasury Board Secretariat?
