Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Matthews, in the 2020-21 main estimates, PSPC is requesting about $1.5 billion under vote 5, which is capital expenditures. This amount seems to increase about half a billion dollars, or about 55%, compared with the 2019-20 main estimates. Most of the capital expenditure requests in 2020-21 are attributed to property and infrastructure. Can you give us a breakdown of this increase that is planned for capital expenditures compared with the prior year, please?
