Good morning, Madam Chair. This is Nathalie Drouin, deputy minister of Justice Canada. I just want to say at the beginning that I'm really pleased to be with you now.
As you know, in 2016, we announced a big increase in legal aid, but in that budget we had a specific $2 million that was only for a couple of years, dedicated to increasing innovation. It's only that $2-million part of the budget that sunsetted this year. That's why you see a decrease.
