Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to respond to what Mr. Warawa said. It's quite amusing to hear that he wants to speed things along, as the ECBC awaits the findings of the Auditor General's investigation into the Ben Eoin marina expenses. He wants to hurry up and deal with the problem by sending the ECBC into the lion's den.
Ms. Frenette, as you said, in its new simplified form, it will become more of an advisory body. Decision-making will be centralized such that decisions will not be made in the Atlantic provinces.
What's more, ACOA's direct spending is being cut. It will get $288 million for the 2014-15 fiscal year, in contrast to the $408 million it had in 2010-11.
