Thank you, Minister Ambrose, and your officials, for being with us today. It's a pleasure to see you.
My first question concerns Parliament's motion, unanimously passed in December, to provide full support for the victims of thalidomide. As you may know, since that motion was passed, the 97 who were identified as survivors have now, sadly, been limited to 94. There have been three deaths. The government—I think you, Minister—on March 6, promised $125,000 as a lump sum this year, and then $168 million for their lifetime care.
I wonder if you could explain to the committee how the department came up with that particular number of $168 million.
