Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the ministers and to everyone here today.
This study has been pretty illuminating on many different fronts. As you stated, it's a very serious study that fundamentally focuses on safety.
You talked about the weaponization of certain things. I think we need to get back to the basics of this meeting and its focus, which is the safety and security of Canadians and what the government is doing. Clearly, the government has been focused on this.
Let's talk about some facts for a second. If we really want to talk about facts, it was the Harper government that cut transport, security and safety, aviation, safe transportation of goods and the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. If only we could go back and change that...but we can't, so here we are discussing what we're going to do to rectify this situation.
Minister Hajdu, regarding the announcement made last night and into today—for people at home, in particular—can you break down, in layman's terms, what this means in terms of our efforts and funding? What is it going to do in terms of playing a role in those two things—keeping people safe and secure?
