Fisheries committee  We will keep a close eye on that program, though, because there have been some projects in the past that have actually created some harm to some of the wild species. So we do keep an eye on that.

Fisheries committee  Well, as we say, we don't know yet if that's where we will be with the budget in the future. In the meantime, we are making sure that the priorities that are really required for science and for decision-making will be met. So we will make sure there is not that significant an i

Fisheries committee  Well, as in all mains—

Fisheries committee  As I said, we will prioritize in the scientific activities that we need, and I can't predict.

Fisheries committee  There has been a change in our approach, which we are currently implementing, as we said earlier, through strategic review, moving towards multi-year science. That's as much as we've done so far. And the minister has arrived.

Fisheries committee  That's correct.

Fisheries committee  It's not a reduction in the program itself; it's a matter of how the cashflow was distributed over the five years. You may know that this was a proposal-driven program.

Fisheries committee  If I may, we will not be dealing with the clean air component of that. We will be dealing with any potential impacts of climate change. That could be aquatic invasive species. It could be damage to small craft harbours. It could be a whole series of things. We will not be deali

Fisheries committee  It was $50 million.

Fisheries committee  It will be spent when the time is up.

Fisheries committee  Yes.

Fisheries committee  Roch won't be able to answer that. We are obviously a much smaller country than the United States. We try to keep our funding somewhat in parallel with theirs, although we will never be able to fund to the extent they do. But we do work very closely with them through a series o

Fisheries committee  Thank you. The management of the fishery itself is delegated to the province, but management of the aquatic invasive species is something we do jointly with Ontario and the United States. Siddika can speak to some of this. She's on the Great Lakes Commission, and then there's

Fisheries committee  Thank you for the question. I think there are three parts to it. One, we can't talk about the future in future budgets, so I can't predict whether our budget will go up or down. We know we put forward proposals.
