Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I have a couple of questions on the public-private partnership program.
This was announced with not inconsiderable fanfare in 2007. Not much happened; in fact, there was nothing in 2008-09. I understood that a little while ago, a corporate shell was incorporated to be the office. Now, we have a significant amount of money, and I would like to ask about the details of it.
We have a little over $10 million for payments to the corporate entity, PPP Canada Inc., for operations and program delivery, and almost $73 million for payments to the company for fund investments themselves.
I don't know who I can address this question to specifically. Could whoever is best positioned elaborate on what the $10.1 million will go to? It strikes me as being a fairly significant amount of money for the operation of an office. Also, could you provide details on what seems to be a very specific number--$72.8 million--for fund investments, and what that money has been allocated for?
