Agreed. We are going to go to schedules first before we go into the clause by clause. If I could draw your attention to page 3, it starts on schedule, part I, vote I, operations expenditures, total supplementary appropriation for operations expenditures, $20.520 million.

Bill Braden Great Slave
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a general question about the fiscal year and I hope it is appropriate that I ask it now. When we set up each year's budget, Mr. Chairman, there is a supplementary reserve and the question that I wanted to put to the Finance Minister now that we are cleaning up the books from the past fiscal year, how did we do on our supplementary reserve? Did we come in sort of on or under budget? Have we exceeded it? What is the year-end report on our supplementary reserve? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Voytilla
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Last year with our second final supplementary, Supplementary No. 3, we overspent our supplementary reserves by $8 million, so we did exceed them last year. This supplementary appropriation, because it is after the year end, affects our books directly. They are accruals as opposed to actual cash outlays for last year. For the Giant remediation, as the Minister pointed out, the actual cash won't be spent out. It will be spent out over 10 years.
With the extra provision for loss on Sirius, most of that cash has been spent out last year and this year, so it affects our cash position and will, in fact, increase that supplementary over-expenditure to the tune of about another $3.5 million.

Thank you. I guess in sort of percentage terms, Mr. Voytilla supplied some numbers here. I would just like to get a sense of the ratio or portion percentage-wise how much did we go over? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Our normal supplementary reserves are $15 million. In this case with the over-expenditures we are looking at, we probably overspent that reserve by about 60 percent because of the large items that we were dealing with.
