Good afternoon. Thank you for being here with us.
I have a lot of questions for you, but the first one will be about the Canadian agricultural partnership.
I would like you to explain something to me. In the summary provided to us by the Library of Parliament, the total voted appropriations are higher because they include $6.8 million to be transferred to other organizations, such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, to support Growing Forward 2, or GF2, initiatives.
In the supplementary estimates (B), you note that you have doubled the programs but have kept exactly the same amount. What are the cost-shared programs under GF2?
If you double the programs while keeping the same funding, it means that the amounts allocated to certain programs will be reduced. Do you already know which programs will see their funds reduced? If so, why?
