Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, again, the deputy minister has the full authority to expend the budget in this department according to the Financial Administration Act. However, there are some sections within the department where the Cabinet has to seek approval if we are negotiating leases or in contract areas. Overall, the deputy minister has the full authority to expend the budget that is in his department.
