Mr. Chair, in some departments the procurement function was split between or being undertaken by a finance officer, and so when the monies were allocated out, partial PY money or partial money funding was allocated from a department to the receiving Department of Public Works and Services. At the end of the day, there was a shortfall because it wasn’t dollars for one PY going for one PY over to the Procurement Shared Services Centre.

What we looked at was what the shortfall amount was and then provided an allocation for that to make up the shortfall. Like I said, the tender desk and the procurement office and also some money to top up the funding for the benefits portion in procurement shared services where we are funding the departments at 17.5 percent for benefits but the actual cost was 23 percent, so there is an allocation for that. At the end of the day, when it all shook out, there is about three-quarters of the PY money that the procurement shared services was short for, plus the additional requirement for the top-up to get to the $165,000. Thank you.
