Mrs. Cynthia Wright (Associate Assistant Deputy Minister, Environmental Stewardship Branch, Department of the Environment) at the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

I'm Cynthia Wright. I'm the associate ADM of the Environmental Stewardship Branch.

For the area of the Wildlife Service and conservation programs, we're now spending $30 million. I think you're asking about grants and contributions, but overall the departmental grants and contributions budget also increased. That's the largest amount we've ever spent dedicated to wildlife and biodiversity.
