Thanks, Mr. Chair. So I just want to start by saying that although I ask a lot of tough questions of this department, I do appreciate the work that the staff do, and I know that they're always doing their best.
But I do have some questions around climate change and the conservation area planning and management over a longer period of time. The Nature Fund protected areas grants and contributions is going down, down on page 81. It's about, I don't know, almost $300,000 less this year than last year. When I look at conservation planning and implementation program detail on page 80, it's about $1.5 million less than what was spent last year. I guess -- so where are we going to find the money to maintain the long-term investment that's needed to fund these protected areas? And I support them, and they will create sustainable long-term jobs that have lots of other benefits, but where's the money going to come from? Because we're not spending it, and this is not a good trend in this budget. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
