Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Ministers, thank you for being here today.

Thanks as well to all the officials who've come here to help answer our questions.

I have a number of questions for Minister Raitt with respect to the labour program.

First, you touched on the wage earner protection program in your opening remarks. As you mentioned, additional funding has been allocated to the WEPP, I think approximately $1.4 million.

I was wondering if you could give our committee a bit of a perspective on how that additional funding will be used and how it will benefit the program, and specifically where it will be targeted.
