Today, the Honourable Anita Anand, President of the Treasury Board of Canada, tabled Supplementary Estimates (C), 2023-24, in the House of Commons.
The Estimates family of documents, including the Supplementary Estimates, provide parliamentarians and Canadians with transparent details about how taxpayer dollars are being managed so they can hold the government accountable for its spending plans and results.
This year, Supplementary Estimates (C), 2023-24, present for Parliament's approval planned spending of $8.9 billion. Proposed investments will support a number of government priorities, including $1.9 billion for compensation and programs for Indigenous communities, over $1.6 billion for military projects and operations in Ukraine and Latvia, approximately $360 million to help provinces and municipalities to continue delivering interim housing for asylum claimants, as well as $100 million for rental assistance for low-income Canadians through the Canada Housing Benefit.
These Estimates also include information on $4.3 billion of statutory expenditures for other important initiatives that support access to education, stabilization for provincial partners, and more.
The government is committed to efficient and prudent spending of taxpayer dollars while remaining accountable and transparent in our ongoing reporting to Canadians and parliamentarians.
