I think that would be a question for parliamentarians to ask. What we said, and we were very clear, is that the honourable members have said that the budget has increased and that it represents a commitment to strengthen that branch. What we have said is that the commitment was for more money to do more inspections. There's not been an increase, but somewhat of a decrease in the number of inspections between 2007 and this year. Sixty-eight new inspectors were supposed to be hired. There were 40 full-time equivalents added, but Environment Canada has not been clear about how many of those 40 are inspectors. To me this is a management issue of making sure that things are lined up.
