Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister McKenna, for being here.

Obviously, with your previous portfolio as minister of environment and climate change, you bring a certain expertise to what we read in your mandate letter. There was one particular item in your mandate letter that I'd like you to elaborate on:

Finalize the creation of an additional infrastructure fund by 2020-2021 to support priority projects and economic diversification for communities transitioning from fossil fuels.

Could you give us some more details of what that entails and what we could actually see on the ground?
