Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Although I'm a member of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, I also sit on the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. So I would be remiss if I didn't ask questions about the appropriations.
Looking at the appropriations, I see an amount of $44,824,556.
The English version reads:
“Contributions to Assist Farmers, Fish Harvesters, and all Food Production”.
Are these amounts expected to be spent by the end of the fiscal year or over the longer term?
