Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Madam Minister, many of the witnesses we heard from during the study expressed how urgent it is that we act to save Pacific salmon. I believe some of my colleagues have spoken about that today as well.
However, when I look at the budget, we see that the funding is broken down as follows: $35 million will be invested in 2021‑2022, while $158 million is projected for 2022‑2023.
Since the situation is urgent, why not invest more now?
