Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Through you to the minister, one part of all of this, and it's been alluded to a few times, is that there are millions of dollars involved in this year's and next year's budgets and in subsequent budgets. There is up to $37 million a year in increased funding to try to deal with the backlog and to try to address the issues you've outlined here today. One of the important parts of that I think is to understand the changes to IRPA in part 6 of Bill C-50 and exactly how those funding increases will assist you, and more particularly, assist those working within the ministry, to do some of the work you've outlined in the bill.
