OTTAWA, Dec. 5, 2019 /CNW/ - Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat
Support for Canada's veterans, defence modernization and climate change action are all part of the Government of Canada's ongoing commitment to responsibly grow the economy and extend opportunities to all Canadians.
Today, the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, President of the Treasury Board, delivered the 2019-20 Supplementary Estimates (A) in the House of Commons.
As part of the government's planned spending cycle, the 2019-20 Supplementary Estimates (A) seek Parliament's approval of $4.9 billion to deliver programs and services to Canadians.
The planned spending in these Supplementary Estimates would provide more support for Canada's veterans, address public service compensation agreements, and protect the environment at home and internationally. These investments would support the continued delivery of Budget 2019 measures.
