Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I’ll have questions for the Minister of Finance. Discussions with the Minister of Human Resources
earlier brought me on to looking at the Financial Administrative Act under Section 32.1(1), the transfer among activities. Although the act – I looked it up – states that the board, on the recommendations of the Minister responsible for an item, may transfer funds among activities set out in the estimates on which the appropriate item is based if the amount appropriated for the item as a whole is not increased.
Can I ask the Minister of Finance, up to what amount are they able to practice this transfer among activities? Can he give me an amount within the department they’re able to make that decision? Thank you.
