Thank you very much, Minister.
If I could, let's go to Public Safety and the overall budget. You mentioned a significant increase in the budgetary necessities, particularly because of natural disasters, such as the flood in Alberta.
I wonder if you could elaborate a little bit more and share your thoughts with us on the importance of DFAA, and how your department stands ready to assist provinces. If you could talk about federal responsibility and how the federal government gets involved in these kinds of natural disasters, I don't think Canadians know what the system really is in our country.
