I've been very clear. I have asked very specific questions on vision for the department, and since my colleague raised it, I would like to address some of her comments from the House.
Last fall the environment minister said dozens of times that the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre would continue to provide “world-class” services. An important component of those world-class services is scientific oversight of the data centre. Last December, Assistant Deputy Minister Karen Dodds told this committee that the science and technology branch “will maintain...the scientific oversight of the integrity of the data”. At the same meeting, Director General Charles Lin agreed, saying that “the S and T branch under Karen will provide scientific oversight”. Those are both direct quotes.
What we know now is that the ozone group scientists have all been reassigned to the air quality directorate, so the science and technology branch is not providing scientific oversight to the data centre. I wanted to address that.
I have no more questions.
