Thank you, Madam Chair. What the Minister said is partially, mostly correct, that, in 2019-2020, in March, that was when the government decided that we should not be working from our work site and sent everyone home, there was a lot of requirement for remote devices and support for remote devices, so lots of laptops, cell phones, et cetera, and getting the network ready for people to work at home. The TSC did overspend its budget, and the Department of Infrastructure, because it is a chargeback model, had to pick up that amount. That is the amount that you see there at the bottom line, $881,000. The COVID secretariat actually was approved, I think, with a budget effective August 1, 2020, so any costs incurred by the department prior to August 1st stays within the department. Thank you, Madam Chair.
