Thank you very much, Madam Chair. It's nice to see you in the chair. Congratulations.
I want to thank the department for coming out and briefing us.
When there are appropriations made to transfer money to provinces, to people, made by one government and subsequently the following government changes them, are there any provisions built in so that there would be a penalty paid? We understand some of the provinces, the people, can be developing programs that would be long term and subsequently have to change or alter them. What are some of the ways they would be compensated?
I understand we vote on it, but there may be things we don't know about.
