Natural Resources committee  It says from National Defence to all of these different partners including CSIS, so those would be transactions that do not.... For us it's the $400,000, and the $400,000 refers to essentially moneys paid.... It is for security, and it is for essentially our work on radiation monitoring.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, that's a good question. The reason it is showing up at this time is that there were moneys allocated for this fiscal year. They will not be spent this fiscal year because the Saskatchewan Research Council that is leading the project is not ready yet. It has not completed the environmental assessment through the CNSC, so we expect the work to take place rather in 2014-15.

Natural Resources committee  Sure. I wouldn't have the line item kind of detail, but essentially the National Energy Board was fitted in offices in Calgary. As per normal practices, at the end of the lease period Public Works and Government Services Canada made an assessment as to whether this was the best place for it to be in terms of getting best value for money.

Natural Resources committee  The short answer is that it took the time it did in order to develop the proper submission and—

Natural Resources committee  We will get back to you. The only thing I would add is that, if you are within the timelines accorded to you, there is nothing in the rules of this process that provides that first in gets better treatment than others.

Natural Resources committee  I may refer to one of my colleagues. The date of the filing is partly related to the date when we joined the convention. On joining the convention, we then had a number of years to file a submission.

Natural Resources committee  That was the outside limit, but a substantive body of work has to be assembled if you're going to have a viable and solid, credible submission. We're very satisfied we have that submission. We're quite confidant that with this kind of submission, Canada will be able to claim as added territory beyond the 200 nautical miles, the equivalent of the territory of the three western provinces together.

Natural Resources committee  Brian Gray, who is assistant deputy minister for the earth sciences sector, will respond.

Natural Resources committee  Maybe I didn't hear the question properly.

Natural Resources committee  I'm not sure I have the prior fiscal year. Perhaps my colleagues can get the number, as I'm looking too. What I can tell you is that the numbers authorized for this fiscal year may be different from what will ultimately be spent.

Natural Resources committee  The supplementary estimates (B) for international stakeholder engagement and outreach is $12,997,886, of which $500,000 is not specifically advertising but may be to work with different research institutions or third parties, to supplement our body of science and our body of knowledge vis-à-vis energy and environmental issues for Canada.

Natural Resources committee  No, domestically it would be $16.5 million, and internationally is $12.9 million.

Natural Resources committee  Obviously, there has been some expenditure on advertising in the United States, which is not specifically directed at any project. It is providing information about Canada as a responsible, reliable energy supplier. We also plan to have some advertising in Europe, where some of our interests are also compromised by various measures contemplated by the European Commission, as well as in Asian markets.

Natural Resources committee  There are no moneys before you today that have to do with any workforce adjustment at Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. Currently, there are no workforce adjustments planned at Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. The $8.5 million is for advisory services we are paying now at Natural Resources Canada in order to help us move the laboratories to new models of governance, which have a private-sector operator.

Natural Resources committee  I could certainly get you the number. Unfortunately I don't have it offhand.
