I cannot really comment on the Experimental Lakes issue. I can, however, ask Patricia to speak to that in a moment.

It is important to note that we have actually increased science-related spending in the Great Lakes since 2010. A key component of the Great Lakes nutrient initiative centres around science.

I will now turn the floor over to Patricia on the issue of the Experimental Lakes.
