Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, in the main estimates, it stated $46.5 billion was required simply to service our debt. This is in addition to this year's $39.8 billion deficit. Now, in the supplementary estimates, you have come back and asked for another $1.9 billion, as though this $1.9 billion were an oversight to service the national debt.
Why weren't these numbers properly accounted for in your main estimates just a few months ago?
What can we as Canadians expect in the future in terms of further amounts that have not been accounted for as a result of your bad accounting?
