Thank you.

The PBO report identified that one of the largest items in the supplementary estimates is contingent liability. The report states that from 2016 up until now we've seen an increase in contingent liabilities of 224%. I just wanted to ask if you can explain what contingent liabilities are about. I also wanted to ask how that might relate to our government's commitment to walk the path of truth and reconciliation with indigenous communities in Canada.
