Fisheries committee  In terms of the transformational planned funding that we...?

Fisheries committee  It is the same. The $97.5 million is adjusted for an employee benefits package. They're both related to the transformational plan.

Fisheries committee  No, I think you've adequately dealt with it, except to point out we could provide what the deputy's alluded to, but we'd have to go back and put it together. We don't have the information readily available today.

Fisheries committee  If I understand the question, yes, we have an analytical grid which applies to the divestiture of harbours. I believe the starting point is harbours which pose health and safety problems, which are a danger to the public, for instance. I imagine that will be one of our priorities.

Fisheries committee  On the national capital region, as the deputy said, it's basically the salaries of all of the headquarters people and all of the enabler functions that we talked about. It also includes, though, some capital spending as well, because capital spending, for example, on IMTS, real property, etc., would be included in that figure.

Fisheries committee  I'm sorry, that's information management technology services, or informatics, essentially.

Fisheries committee  We could provide a detailed breakdown on that, Mr. Chair, before the minister's appearance.

Fisheries committee  If I could just refer you again to page 7, you can see where we had our planned spending adjustments under the RPP, and in most cases, but not all, they have been picked up through the supplementary estimates and additional ones have been added.

Fisheries committee  A-base is what we essentially have in our reference levels that exist forever and a day. For example, the $99 million that the minister has spoken of before has been added to our A-base. That's going to stay in our reference levels. That's as opposed to funds that come in that have a sunset timeframe attached to them, whether it be two years or more.

Fisheries committee  They didn't get spent and they obviously aren't going to be spent this year, so they may have been what we call re-profiled to a future year. As I look at the figures, though, there are only very small variations between what we put into the RPP and what we're actually asking for through supplementary estimates.

Fisheries committee  We have over a thousand harbours we're still responsible for.

Fisheries committee  Yes, it's in the range. That would include maintenance funds, without making a distinction between major and minor, but yes.

Fisheries committee  Yes. Right now the figure in our budget includes the $20 million, which, as we've discussed, is due to terminate at the end of March 2007.

Fisheries committee  Yes. That's right, so there will be $20 million off. But our figure right now--let's round it to $100 million--includes that $20 million. Over and above that, we estimate that we would need somewhere between let's say $35 million and $40 million. The study I referred to earlier was a 2002 study.

Fisheries committee  Yes, those are the harbours I'm talking about.
