Thank you very much, Chair.

Thank you very much, Minister, for coming and meeting us before committee.

I have a quick question with respect to the estimates. There's an amount of $28.3 million that was allocated to help collect new export charges against softwood lumber from Canada. Is that above and beyond the amount, the $1 billion, that was left on the table? Is that an additional amount?
