Mr. Speaker, as members know, we are facing new norms and new realities. Things have changed globally, so we are focused on spending less and investing more and on finding savings to reassign resources where it matters most to Canadians. That is why we launched the comprehensive expenditure review, and we will be balancing our operational budget in the next three years.
