Thank you.

Welcome back to the committee.

During Minister Fortier's appearance, it was indicated that the frozen allotments are due to the need to hold funds over for settlements and projects that require funding but are impacted by climate and weather issues. We've certainly seen indications of that across the country in the past year. Are these types of frozen allotments important to ensuring good government operations?
