Let me start with your question about changes to the National Research Council's mandate.
I don't know the specifics about the work of the National Research Council. To the best of my understanding, they have not been partners in ozone monitoring. It's not an area that NRC is known for. The National Research Council is a very important research organization in Canada, but it is not a granting council, nor does it provide scholarships to doctoral or post-doctoral students outside of the National Research Council.
In terms of numbers of publications that can be used as a way of monitoring output, the science and technology branch publishes about 700 scientific publications per year, and that's remained constant over the last number of years, roughly speaking.
