This bill gives the government $20.5 billion to use for public administration expenses for next year that aren't already budgeted for. It's called the Appropriation Act No.3, 2023-24. The expenses are divided into different categories, like agriculture, housing, and transportation. The bill also allows the government to adjust its accounts later on if needed. The Governor General signed off on the bill on June 22, 2023.
The Appropriation Act No. 3, 2023-24 is necessary to defray charges and expenses of the federal public administration for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 that are not otherwise provided for. This Act provides the required sum of $20,478,605,110 for various items including operating and capital expenditures, grants, contributions, and other expenses connected to federal public administration. Without this Act, the federal government would not have the necessary funds to cover the expenses and charges required for an effective administration, which would ultimately hinder the functioning of the government and negatively impact the country as a whole. As such, this Act is important for ensuring the smooth running of the federal government and allowing it to effectively serve the needs of its citizens.
