Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thank you very much for your remarks this afternoon on the supplementary estimates, and for taking a moment to expand on a number of priorities that relate to your portfolio. It's quite clear to me, as I would think it would be to all members of this committee, that there is a tremendous amount of work that is being done on the portfolio, and for that we are very grateful.
You made a recent announcement with regard to the security infrastructure program. For those who are unaware, this is a program that is designed to help communities that are at risk of hate-motivated crimes to improve their security infrastructure.
Could you take a moment to tell us how you've enhanced the criteria and the eligibility of this program in ways that improve on the old model?
