Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll direct my questions to the Minister of the Environment.
Minister Kent, we've heard much from colleagues across the table about the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act's budget. We've heard allegations that the budget will be cut by 43%.
Perhaps you could clarify for members of the committee and shed some light on the inaccuracy of that fact, and talk a bit about the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act's budget and if there have been any jobs cuts to date.
