Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

I'd like to start my questioning with Ms. Campbell.

First of all, Ms. Campbell, I would be remiss if I didn't say congratulations on your appointment a couple of months ago. Given the wealth of your experience, I am sure you will do an extraordinary job.

Since 2015, we've seen the government invest approximately $2.5 billion in CSA, but prior to that—especially given that you were explaining to us its social and economic benefits—we saw CSA suffer cutbacks and employee layoffs.

Could you tell me what the impact of those cutbacks prior to 2015 were on the CSA?
