Report on the supplementary estimates (c), 2015–16 / chair, the Honourable Larry Smith ; deputy chair, the Honourable Larry Campbell.: YC13-0/421-3E-PDF
The Standing Senate Committee on National Finance has an important role to play on behalf of Parliament and Canadians in ensuring that the government’s spending plans are reasonable, take into account value-for-money, and will be effective in achieving the government’s objectives. In order to fulfill this role, the Committee closely examines and presents reports on the government’s spending plans that are provided to Parliament for its approval. In Supplementary Estimates (C), 2015–16, which was tabled in the Senate on 23 February 2016, the government is requesting Parliament authorize an additional $2.8 billion in spending, as well as updating its forecasts for statutory spending by an additional $2.3 billion, for an overall increase of budgetary expenditures of $5.1 billion for fiscal year 2015–2016. In order to review these estimates, the Committee held six meetings with officials from 14 departments and agencies. The Committee noted and has decided to report on key issues raised during its meetings.
