Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to our guests for being here today.

I am a francophone from outside Quebec, for lack of a better description. I am a francophone from Ontario, from Toronto now, but I grew up in Alberta's high north. So I am a Gaulois from the Canadian Prairies.

My first question is for the representatives of the Réseau du développement économique et d'employabilité. I believe you said you receive $9 million in funding a year for housing. Is that correct?
