Now that the fiscal year is ended and a new one 2017 is about to begin, would the Honourable Prime Minister oblige the Honourable House to explain or clarify just how the deficit was made up?

a) Were there loans; b) Did we have cuts in Goods and Services, if so by how much; c) Did the $105 million in transfers happen?

If not how close did we get since we have been experiencing lots of unanticipated expenses, how come that we have not had any special warrants for some time?
