Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, as stated, departments do have the flexibility of moving funds around internally. In fact, an example would be the medical-related benefits and medical travel part. Throughout the year, we encourage departments through FMB and FMBS to use the money internally before they come to us for further requests. When they can substantiate, in fact, that they don't have that availability to them anymore, then they make the formal request, it is reviewed by FMBS, and then a recommendation made to FMB and either approved or disapproved at that stage. So the flexibility is there. I believe that amount that was initially found was in a previous year's budget and we'd have to get the timeline up to that amount and ask the Minister of HR to give a breakdown as to how that was allocated. Thank you.
