Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to start off today by saying we're very happy that the parliamentary secretary is here.
I will apologize. I'm a bit confused. At the end of May, the department announced cuts: the B.C. dive team, the salmon enhancement program. It's now June 15 and you've reversed this decision. It is interesting to note that, when we talk about consultation, I don't feel so bad that even members of their own caucus in B.C. weren't consulted on this.
What made the department reverse its decision?
