The Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration 

has the honour to present its

EIGHTH REPORT

            Your Committee recommends the adoption of Supplementary Estimates of $2,646,000 for the fiscal year 2001-2002.  Since the Senate had a carry-forward balance of $621,000 from 2000-2001, the new funding requirements in the Supplementary Estimates are $2,025,000. 

            This Supplementary Estimate is required to meet operational shortfalls in Committees as  well as salary increases resulting from collective agreements and other human resource related items.

            Your Committee wishes to underline the fact that these Estimates will include, on an information basis, estimated costs that will be charged to the Statutory Appropriation related to the revised remuneration of Parliamentarians.         

Respectfully submitted,

RICHARD KROFT
Chair
