Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Good afternoon everyone.

I'd like to thank Ms. Bibeau and the officials for being with us today.

Ms. Bibeau, I'd like you to clarify something for me. What portion of the measure you announced yesterday is new money? I'm referring to the initial $50 million that was announced to redirect surplus food to food banks.

Is that $50 million still part of the funding announced yesterday?

See context to find out what was said next.
