Mr. Chair, I'll attempt to address that question.
Of the resources just quoted, approximately $96 million will come to Environment Canada over the next five years to address three elements of the action plan. Those would be Lake Simcoe, as mentioned, the Great Lakes, and Lake Winnipeg. The Great Lakes program is approximately $48 million over five years, and it's intended to accelerate sediment cleanups in the areas of concern. I believe progress has been made on five of those accelerations to date.
In Hamilton Harbour, a technical plan has now been agreed to and the environmental assessment is beginning, and some of the other scientific studies to allocate sources are also taking place.
Of the 17 areas of concern that implicate Canadians, to date two have been delisted and are no longer areas of concern. All the actions in one of them have taken place, and we're waiting for the use impairments to disappear so it can be delisted. Of the 17 remaining, we intend to have completed actions in 15 by the year 2012.
A call was made for proposals with respect to Lake Simcoe, and 63 were received. They were reviewed by a technical committee, who completed their work, I believe, approximately two weeks ago and are making recommendations to the minister on projects that will be funded this year.
