Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Minister and officials, for being available today. It's always good to have you at the committee.
I want to talk about something that's personal to me and my riding. One thing I've noticed over the last year is that the COVID-19 pandemic has helped many Canadians gain a new appreciation for nature. Record numbers of people have been searching for ways to get out and enjoy what the natural world has to offer. One of the best ways to do this is to hike the Great Trail, which stretches from coast to coast and right through the centre of my riding of Kitchener Centre.
How will funding in the estimates help more Canadians get out and gain a new appreciation for Canada's natural beauty?
