Thank you, Chair.
Thank you all for being here.
Mr. Lavoie, that was a very clever bait and switch. In all seriousness, we're very pleased to see you here. We're pleased to see Tessa and Scott here as well. We're so very proud of what you've accomplished as an organization and what you've accomplished on the world scene. I think you've certainly done remarkable work, and Canadians thank you for that.
I want to ask you to elaborate on the funding you're seeking. First of all, how long would celebrations last, and what is the total predicted cost? Are you looking for more funding from other areas, such as the private sector? Will there be contributions from other levels of government and industry partners? What can we expect to see from the $10 million funding?
