Mr. Chair, may I add to that with one small point?
Just to pick up on Mr. Wicklum's point with respect to the CESI program, CESI started in 2004 on a time-limited basis; in the 2010 budget the government made CESI a permanent program and funded it on an ongoing basis.
This has enabled us to expand the CESI program and make it a more effective tool for getting the information that Dan is describing out to the public. We have gone from a traditional annual report that is printed and filed to a website that we update on a regular basis throughout the year. It's interactive; it has geo-mapping capacities built into it. So any Canadian, through the www.ec.gc.ca site, can go in and can look at the sum of this water quality science for hundreds of locations across the country and can zero in on the ones that are important and can look at trends over time.
We have also taken that program and have built it, as Dan said. We're using it as an indicator set on the federal sustainable development strategy so that we can, in a fairly structured way, report to Canadians on the resources that are spent on water quality, the results that are being achieved, and how they compare to the targets established by the government.
