Gentlemen, my congratulations to both of you on your appointments.
I am going to ask about the vision related to specific departments, and my questions will be technical in nature.
Mr. Hamilton, it is well known in the ozone science community that the long-time manager of the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre is no longer in that position. Yet, at a meeting of this committee on December 13, 2011, the science and technology director, Dr. Charles Lin, stated, “The manager is being transitioned to the Meteorological Service of Canada.” I'm wondering why Environment Canada has not followed through on the commitment made to this committee.
