I'm a little confused and maybe edging on concerned. With a $1.4 billion budget for Environment Canada, with what is posed and what is mentioned even in your own documents as potentially one of the greatest risks to our economy and society--it has been pointed out around the world, and there has been much of both scientific and media attention--where does the directive come from to spend a proportionally very small amount of money on something that is relatively uncertain for the Canadian situation and poses such an astounding financial risk to Canada's well-being?
I don't know if this is a question for Mr. Shugart. Who makes the decisions on spending that amount of money?
