Thank you for the clarification.
Last fall the environment minister said dozens of times that the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre will continue to provide world-class services. An important component of those world-class services is scientific oversight of the data centre.
Last December, Dr. Dodds, you told this committee: “We will maintain the scientific...oversight of the integrity of the data.”
At the same meeting, Dr. Lin agreed, saying, “...the S and T branch under Karen will provide scientific oversight.”
What we know now is that the ozone group scientists have all been reassigned to the air quality directorate, and so science and technology branch is not providing oversight to the data centre.
