Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for coming today. We appreciate your presentation and the work you're doing.

I have a couple of questions on the actual supplementaries and one question for you, or maybe a comment, on your plans and priorities document, which I'm sure you can answer.

First of all, I have a question on vote 70, which is not in the southern Ontario supplementaries, but in the NRC supplementaries. There is $90 million for the increase to IRAP. I know that you mentioned in your speech that we're doubling it. Is that the full doubling or is it partial? Is it just for this year? Can you explain what that is?
