Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today.
My first questions will be for Karen Beaubier of the Uptown Rutland Business Association.
As you mentioned, you are part of a business improvement area, a BIA. I heard from both you and the Downtown Kelowna Association, as well as from others across the country who are being told that their funding model is changing as the federal government is classifying them as a public government entity, which is new.
Could you tell this committee what you heard on this as well?
