Thank you, Mr. Chair. The committee may recall that the proposal came forward last year with regard to investment in agriculture and meat and fish distribution marketing. The budget had originally been established as a contracting expense. So the initiative was managed through the other expense category of accounting and would show up on previous sheets in the past. It has been proposed through this budget that this shift to contributions and that’s why this matter now shows up on the contributions accounting, and it’s proposed that we then use the contribution agreement process to work with communities and those involved in the agriculture and fish and meat marketing areas to deal through those transactions. It’s the nature of accounting. Last year it was with other expenses on your previous activity sheet and now we’ve shifted to grants and contributions as an accounting mechanism. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
