Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, welcome back to the committee. You've been here a number of times over the years, and it's always a pleasure to get an opportunity to ask you some questions.
First of all, I see some dollars assigned for the east coast ferry system. When we look at the supplementary estimates (C), we see the funds there.
The question I have for you is this: Why is this the case? Is it difficult to predict how much funding will be needed for ferries from year to year?
