Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll be sharing my time with MP Weiler.
I have one follow-up question for Madam Thornton.
You indicated in a response to a question that one of our colleagues raised today.... You took exception by saying that your department or the NESS operated within its mandate and within its funding. We've heard over the last few hours about how the mandate of the NESS has changed and how you've responded.
You also mentioned that the budget for the NESS is about $3 million. With the new evolving mandate—and you responded by saying how it's evolving—do you have the sufficient funding to be able to not only get us through this, but also position us for our future?
After the answer, I'll yield the rest of the time to Mr. Weiler.
Thank you.
