Thank you.
In closing, Chair, I have a comment. When the Auditor General pointed out that the north has been waiting for 11 years, I want to point out that we were not government for 11 years. We've been government for four years and we're seeing things dramatically improve.
We still have a long way to go. I think we've heard both from INAC and from Environment Canada that they have appreciated the recommendations of the commissioner and the Auditor General and are working hard to improve. And our government is committed to improve.
But also in the spirit of good news, from budget 2010, Mr. Woodworth brought to our attention: the $8 million over two years for support for Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, for community-based environmental monitoring and reporting and baseline data collection through the Northwest Territories cumulative impact monitoring program; the $11 million over two years to streamline the northern regulatory process; and the $18 million over five years to commence the pre-construction design phase for the Canadian High Arctic Research Station.
There have been a lot of good things. The budget process, Chair, is not over. Hopefully we'll have a change of heart in the opposition members and they will support this very good work.
Thank you.
