Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Ms. Levin, I will continue with you to start. Thank you to all the witnesses for coming this evening.

Thank you as well for sharing the report from Environmental Defence. In reading that, I noted in the executive summary the tally of how much financial support has been provided to fossil fuels by the federal government.

Could you clarify if this dollar amount cites the wage subsidy, the Canada emergency response benefit and the federal payments to western provinces for oil and gas cleanup?
