Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d just like to bring up a couple of other issues. The difficulty that I’m having with this process is the timing of it. Like I indicated, the fact that this communication report was done in November, I guess committee has had some discussion with the department about it, and I think it was brought up on Friday about the supplementary exercises we are going through and some of the short notices we are getting on the reviews and the process and the fact that all of a sudden we hear now this money, these five positions are being added to the budget.

It seems like a very quick process for us on the Regular Members’ side. I think some of us are having concerns on how this was all laid out. I understand the government had to do a review, but I’m having trouble swallowing the fact that we did a review in November and we couldn’t get that information to this House by February or March to get approval. It just seems like it’s taking us six to eight months to get the process of approval for any funding you want to do. It seems very difficult to us.

Now we’re being asked to approve it in the supp when the supp only came to us a week ago. I’m just having difficulties on the process and the steps of how we got here.

Could the Minister give me more detail on was there a holdup in their area and why would it take us that long to go through the process and why couldn’t we have seen this in February or March when we looked at the budgets? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
