Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My comments will focus on what is in supplementary estimates (B), not on what is not.
I did want to quickly take a moment to welcome Mr. Barlow to the committee. I'm glad to see that the opposition finally saw fit to allow him to join us as a permanent member. I'm looking forward to working with him as well.
Minister, I wanted to continue on the line of the west coast energy strategy you spoke about, which is in part advanced through the strategic partnerships initiative. It's said here that it's scheduled to receive $10.5 million. Could you explain a little more about what that $10.5 million will be spent on?
