Mr. Chairman, on a supplementary appropriation, one has to consider if in fact we support the supplementary appropriation because of the expenditures made from this government. I am having a large bit of difficulty in supporting the expenditures made here with the different type of responses, or the unclear terminology being used.

Again, I go back to unedited Hansard, page 1131, the Honourable Joe Handley:

Mr. Chairman, the employment contract for the chief of staff was entered into pursuant to the general employment provisions of the Public Service Act.

Is that in fact the case? Thank you.
