All right. To be honest with you, I think it would be nothing more than partisan torquing to worry about whether it's being performed by one group or another.
With respect to a good phrase that Ms. Leslie used in the course of her questions, it was “these folks in the scientific community on the ground”. I happened to come across an article in the British scientific journal Nature, published September 12, 2011, that relied on informal information—I imagine pretty much from the “folks in the scientific community on the ground”. It resulted in a lot of alarmism and running around by politicians critical of Canada—I might say none on the government side—but it made a few statements. I'd like to test them out and see if they came true.
In the article by Quirin Schiermeier, it said that it's been learned “…that Environment Canada…has decided to drastically reduce its ozone science and monitoring programme.”
Did that ever happen?
