Environment committee  Yes, we're working right now on the order and hoping to issue it shortly. I can't tell you exactly when it will be. There's no funding allocated at the moment for that.

Environment committee  We will find the funds necessary to deliver on what's required, until such time as we can go and ask for additional funding if it's required.

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  I don't have the specific numbers with me, but we can get back on that.

Environment committee  To add to that, I think what Carol is referring to is that we were doing monitoring already, and so what this agreement does is step it up, and so it's incremental to that. Let us go back and try to find the figures for you in terms of what we're spending now. In terms of the f

Environment committee  Whenever you start with detailed breakdown.... I don't know, Carol, if you want to start and then I'll come in.

Environment committee  We can provide you with that. Just to take one step between the full detail, which we will do in writing, as Carol said, this is a three-year program so we see a $13-million reduction this year; that's going to grow to $31 million and ultimately I believe $58 million over the thr

Environment committee  Yes, we will provide the information.

Environment committee  Yes, I believe that is a fair assessment, in terms of some of the improvements that have been made. We publish our environmental indicators so it's there for all to see. Having said that, I think we have the prospect of even more improvements. On NOx and SOx air quality, in Octo

Environment committee  It may be small comfort, but I can report some updating on those numbers, which are largely in the same range. We have 264 strategies proposed. We need 246. That's a little bit better than the numbers you quoted. We understand that we have a backlog with SARA, and we're doing the

Environment committee  It would help. I'll come back to what it would do for the existing backlog. But going forward, whether it's through implementation or legislative change, we'd like to find a way to better line up what we want to accomplish. We want to identify a priority species and have timeline

Environment committee  As the minister mentioned, fast-start financing is part of our agreement. Internationally we've agreed to provide $1.2 billion in funding. It tries to look at a mixture of activities whereby we can help developing countries deal with their efforts to try either to mitigate climat

Environment committee  I've been in this job about six months, and I have to say I'm quite impressed with the science capacity of our department—and it's not just me looking at it, but it's the impression when you talk to others. We talked about oil sands monitoring. I think the recognition of what En

Environment committee  I'm afraid I can't help you with that one. The experimental lakes is an issue that our colleagues at the Department of Fisheries are managing. I don't know whether any of my colleagues at the table feel that they have anything constructive to say. I can undertake to get you some

Environment committee  Yes.
