Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for joining us today. I love dealing with estimates because I like the technical side of it.
Let's start with Atlantic Canada. Then I have specific questions, just for my education, and then a general question that relates to all three--but I want to pick on Quebec, because I'm missing something and I need to know--and then some more general questions about the estimates process.
On the estimates that ACOA has provided, I have two really basic questions about them. The transfers that have the brackets around them mean a deduction in the transfers. Are those transfers internal transfers or are they transfers from other departments? Why are there brackets around those transfers in 1b and 5b? Then we add money in appropriations and balance, but I'm interested in knowing why those numbers have brackets.
