Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Yes, the Environment Commissioner had prepared a document. It is correct to say that there were commitments for approximately 6 billion dollars. I believe that she had indicated that between 1997 and 2003, close to 4 billion dollars—3.740 to be precise—had been expended for climate change initiatives.
As far as determining the scope of the expenditures made in 2004-05, as I mentioned earlier, it is quite an exercise to gather all of the information from all of the departments. This is not information I have here. I think that I noted some gap in that regard. Prospectively, Environment Canada will be coordinating the gathering of this information in order to be able to report the amounts in a timely fashion.
