Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'm very pleased to be with you this afternoon. Sitting on a federal Parliamentary committee is a first for me. I'm a newbie, but I have had some very interesting experiences similar to the opening remarks we heard just now. Thank you very much, Ms. Butt. I thank you all as well for coming out today.
Substantial funding has been announced and, as I understand it, people are now starting to spend a lot of money. Other funding has been announced as well. You mentioned $601 million that needs to be distributed.
What should we remember about what has been accomplished with this money? What measurable results can you share with us after implementing the strategy and spending the rather large funding envelopes that have been provided?
