Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to begin by asking Dr. Schindler if I have his testimony right.
Dr. Schindler, I am going to summarize very quickly.
You said, first of all, that your data agrees with Environment Canada data with respect to the NPRI, the last numbers being 2008, I believe you said. Then you said the oil sands companies should be charged under the Fisheries Act. Then you said Environment Canada should take on a proper monitoring program, because RAMP is not trustworthy, given that it is industry funded. You said that advertising by industry is misleading. You said there is recent evidence of federal scientists being muzzled. You also said that you need an oversight panel of scientists not linked to industry or government, and then you said hard goals for reclamation of mines and tailing ponds are required.
Is that pretty much, in a nutshell, what has to happen in terms of improving the situation in this balance between the exploitation of the oil sands and the natural environment around it?
