Thanks very much, Chair, and thanks to the officials for being here.
The nature of my questions today will be on the topic of lapsed funding, if that's helpful to all of you.
Mr. Costen, from the reading that we've been doing, it appears that at Health Canada, almost 35% of total funding ends up in lapsed funding. My understanding is that lapsed funding, of course, is not spent on programming.
Could you explain to the committee where that lapsed funding goes when it's not used—back into general revenues, perhaps—and which programs exactly are affected by lapsed funding?
