Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister, welcome. Thank you for joining us this morning.
And thanks also to the officials. We've certainly had an informative morning thus far.
I do have a couple of questions that I will ask. I don't know, Minister, whether you want to answer them or refer them to the officials. I'm interested in vote 1, where we're talking about the transfer of almost a million dollars from Environment Canada. I understand it's for restoration work under the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes water quality agreement. I'm wondering what type of work will be done. Of course, we know that agreement was just amended this year. Is the transfer related to that amendment? I know also that Environment Canada has the lead on this issue. So what are the amendments, and how do they affect DFO?
