Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to welcome our witnesses.
Ms. Brouillette, it's a pleasure to see you again.
I would be remiss if I did not mention one of my colleagues from the municipality of Hawkesbury, Mr. Martin Normand. Personally, I chose to follow the path of politics. As for him, he chose the path of intelligence.
Mr. Normand, it is also a pleasure to see you again.
Ms. Brouillette, you talked about the new budget envelope and the problems associated with the lack of core funding. Personally, I see it in a different light.
The federal government has invested $121 million. In my opinion, this creates leverage. We're inviting the provinces to match it.
Can you help me understand why this isn't working? Is this a multi-province problem? Should we just review the funding envelope, the way the funding works?
