Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have just a few questions on the estimates, and I might get only a couple in.
I am comforted to know that just because we have a budget it doesn't necessarily mean we have to spend it all; we have to spend it on good projects. So I appreciate hearing that.
I'm looking at the crisis pool quick release mechanism, and being very new to the committee I'd like to understand what checks and balances are associated with the requests for these funds and how that process works.
