Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for joining us this morning. It's great to see you at this committee. Hopefully, you'll be at our heritage committee before too long. We would welcome the opportunity to see you there as well.
I want to start by following up on the emergency support fund for cultural and sport organizations. This was done very quickly, obviously, due to the dire situation of the pandemic. A lot of the funding went through the Canada Council for the Arts. I'm curious to know what safeguards are in place, what accountability mechanisms are in place and whether the department has engaged any internal or external review of that funding to ensure it's meeting the goals and objectives that were set out in the program.
