This new funding for the Lake Winnipeg basin initiative is actually the second phase of a program focusing on the challenges of science, of nutrient loading from a variety of sources, from the well-established nuisance, and in some cases, health-threatening algae that have accumulated in the lake.
To correct some of the media accounts we've seen in recent weeks, of this funding, barely 25% will go for the staffing costs, for the human resources costs. The rest of it is going into science funding with partners, and working on ways to once and for all address the problem of nutrient loading in Lake Winnipeg. At the same time, we're embarking on a similar program in Lake Erie. The science developed in both of these areas will be applied to other lakes experiencing nutrient loading to a lesser extent, Lake Simcoe for example.
