Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, some of these are reductions due to duplications in programs within the department, and some of them are sunsets of programming as well. Some of them are also vacant positions within the department that have -- and some of them are -- there is also some fiscal sustainability in there as well. But the -- sorry, the duplications that you're finding in the department, what we are doing is trying to focus a lot of the funding through SEED and really looking at with what is it that communities are looking for, what is it that they want to do, and then how can we simply get funding to community members and work with communities in order to see their economic development goals go through rather than trying to get people to fit into different funding pots across the board. So unless, of course, it is a federal funding pot in which case we are required to use those different programs. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
