Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Purves, I'll ask my two questions right now, and you'll have the rest of the time to answer them.
In the committee, we must look at environmental spending. However, other planned spending, such as the Department of Natural Resources' spending, also affects the environment. Does our committee cover this spending or does another committee cover it?
My second question concerns what are known as horizontal items. Do these items have anything to do with the fact that other committees are looking at goals that affect the environment?
