Madam Chair, if I’m reading the deputy minister’s response, and I have to maybe go back to answers tomorrow to take a look at it, but I did hear the word it “could” be for offices and it would not be used for discretionary funding.
I know all too well, being in this House for the few years that I have, typically the Department of Finance as well as departments know very well where they’re spending the money. Money is not easily come by in this House. Money is very sought after, and when there is money to be spent, I can assure you, Madam Chair, we all know that there is a laundry list a mile high where this money is going to be going. So I’m very concerned and perplexed that money could be spent, and we’ve heard a very general sense of over $10 million.
Again, I’m at the mercy of the Department of Finance here with some of the half answers that I’m getting here, but I’ll ask one last time: Can we get a specific list of criteria or infrastructure and more specifics of exactly where this $10.9 million will be spent in this calendar year? Thank you.
