Mr. Chairman, I’ve been just thinking about this $86,000 budgeted for the trip to Copenhagen. Now I understand at some point in time the supplementary appropriation has to go to print, but wow, $25,000 out of $86,000 is going to be put back. That’s a big percentage off on

the estimating of this trip. I know maybe at first they were going to fly business class and now they’re not and they’re taking an extra Member, but $25,000 out of $86,000 off on this and I guess what I’m wondering about is the Minister says, well, they’ll put the money back. How do they put the money back? Is he sure it just doesn’t turn into, like, some kind of mad money for the Department of ENR? Because, I mean, this would involve having to put a supplementary negative number back in here to ever show this. Like, how do we track that? If they are $25,000 off on an $86,000 supp, I mean how many of the other ones have they been 25 percent off and when did that money ever come back to the department? Because that’s concerning.

What process, what transparent process would we actually see that? How would we ever know if that money came back? Because you’d never enter a $25,000 return of the funds for that one particular activity on as a negative on a supplementary appropriation. So I’m just curious about process here. Thank you.
