Thank you for the question with respect to the estimates for the department.
As the minister mentioned, we're seeking budgetary authorities in the order of $4.9 billion for this year. That's a reduction from last year, when they were $5.1 billion.
Some of the increases reflect additional spending on the government's priorities. For example, the estimates reflect recent budgetary announcements about the critical minerals strategy and the critical minerals infrastructure fund. We're also contributing to the government's trade infrastructure strategy for investments in the first and last mile fund, for example.
There's also an increase in the biofuels production incentive program. That's in direct response to some of the U.S. policy changes. We're also seeing increases in the smart renewables and electrification pathways program of $150 million in this year's estimates. We are also seeing some changes in investments for forest fire management, including what the minister talked about in relation to additional capacity and aircraft to fight forest fires, including in the upcoming firefighting season.
