Thank you very much.

Thanks to our witnesses. Happy Monday.

My colleague and I were just discussing the funding for PacifiCan in the budget, and it appears that there's a significant reduction. I'm just wondering if you can explain the numbers I'm looking at right now.

For 2022-23, there was $219.8 million, which goes down to $118.4 million in the 2024-25 budget. Can you explain the significant reduction in this organization, which aims to diversify B.C.'s economy? It certainly has an impact where I live.
