Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to thank all four of you from the department for being here today.

I'll start with Ms. Gibbons.

Ms. Gibbons, in 2022-23, DFO started receiving $92 million, spread over six years, for implementation of the Impact Assessment Act, which the Supreme Court has now deemed to be largely unconstitutional. How has the Supreme Court assessment of the Impact Assessment Act affected DFO's implementation of the act?
