Thank you, Mr. Chair. I like this area of the budget. It's really the place where -- given my -- or really the Minister's reply that I gave to the budget address today, we can tell that the non-diversification of our economy is quite concerning with the sunsetting of the diamond mines. So my first question is going to be around the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. I note that in the estimates for 2023-2024 that it's at $1.2 million, and prior to that we saw actuals of $488,000.

So can the Minister or the department please let us know what that significant increase of money is for and maybe just a little bit more about some of the future work that's being done there. Thank you.
