Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the ministers for their excellent presentations and for being with us today.
My questions are for Minister Joly. As she will know, I'm a very proud westerner from Manitoba. No region of the country has been hit harder than the west—the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
I wonder if the minister could amplify on the RRRF, which she talked about in her presentation, and how it has helped our region specifically. I have been on calls with her with hundreds of businesses and many chambers of commerce. Could she talk about the RRRF funding, particularly as it relates to the west, and the double whammy and the triple whammy? I think she knows what I'm talking about.
