You mentioned that much of this is at risk, and I would agree. We're currently facing a 43% cut to CEAA, a possible cut of 700-plus scientists at Environment Canada. I'll provide one example. It's the adaptation group at Environment Canada. Many of those scientists shared part of the 2007 Nobel Prize. Eight were fired in June. Twelve of the 17 remaining have received workforce adjustment letters. And I can provide other examples.

In light of what you've said, how are these cuts going to impact environmental assessment?
