Thank you, Madam Chair. I have some very brief opening comments and then we can proceed to detail, if you want.
The Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 2 requests authority for additional appropriations of $712,000 for operation and maintenance expenditures. The majority of the items included in the supplementary appropriation are interdepartmental funding transfers associated with the consolidation of government departments and the user pay/user say initiative. The additional funding requirements of $712,000 will either be offset by additional revenues or provided for in the estimated supplementary requirements in the 1996/97 main estimates. Thank you, Madam Chair.
