Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome all the witnesses and thank them for joining us.
I have some questions for Mr. Latourelle, but since I am not fluent in French, I will ask them in English.
There were a number of things that you said, Mr. Latourelle, but I'm particularly pleased that you said so clearly that having been to the World Parks Congress and observed the challenges that face other nations, you are able to say without hesitation that Canada is an international leader. I'm particularly pleased just to hear that said out loud, because there's a false narrative out there that (a), Canada is not respected internationally in environmental issues, and (b), that we don't in fact pull our weight. So thank you for making that comment.
I want to start with the largest appropriation in the supplementary estimates (B) that is in your budget, and that is the $57.7-million investment that you refer to in your remarks as representing the first year of a five-year investment in economic action plan 2014. Could you begin by telling us, first of all, about the overall scope of that five-year plan, and second, what the $57.7 million will be targeted toward?
