Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am very pleased to be here. I know the issue of CanNor actually came to my attention much before the events of two weeks ago, with various companies coming to me asking why there were such delays in the final approval of their funding for the projects they were working on. Information came out that only the minister right now can make financial decisions with CanNor, while previously the minister was only involved when decisions were less than $250,000. Is that the case today?
