Thank you, Mr. Chair. I see $5 million here for the RCMP collective agreement. My understanding is that there's a bit of a dispute about how the collective agreement is going to apply to the back pay or retroactively. Can I just clarify whether this is the total amount we owe for the collective agreement or whether this $5 million is just one this fiscal year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is for 20222023 or this current fiscal year only. And I don't have detail as to what may or may not be happening with respect to retroactive pay that flows from the collective agreement, the newly agreedto collective agreement. Thank you.
Mr. Johnson.
Yeah, okay. I think there was two or I can't remember, two or three years of retroactive pay. I see $5 million one year. So is it safe to assume that there's 10 or $15 million more coming to the RCMP? Thank you.
Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, this first collective agreement spans from April 1st, 2017, through to March 31st, of 2023. I don't know offhand what those costs for the retroactive pay will look like, nor do I necessarily know what cost share ratio there might be associated. Obviously, we'll have to come back before the House when or if that is resolved and likely through the form of a supplementary appropriation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Johnson.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Okay, and just confirming that this brings our policing services contract with the RCMP up to $55 million? Is it then anticipated for the remainder of this collective agreement that would be the total amount of the contract, or is there some other thing going on where we may be more than $5 million built into next fiscal? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the current agreement is in effect, as I said or this portion here, now we do have until 2023. There's an agreement that I believe has been reached up to March 31st of 2032, and it will then be built in for the Department of Justice in their main estimates so that in future years it will be reflected through the usual appropriations process. Thank you.
Mr. Johnson.
No further questions. Thank you.

Thank you. So there's $39 million here for the flooding, bringing the total appropriation to $117 million, I'm just going to round here. Can I just clarify whether this includes I believe there was a $60 million special warrant. Whether how that fits into this figure. Thank you.
