Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, everyone.

My first question is for Minister Paradis, and it's about the International Development Research Centre, IDRC. I see that IDRC's budget has been reduced by $37 million compared with last year.

Can you explain to me why $37 million has been cut from the budget of this organization that has existed since 1970?
