Thank you very much. I'm glad to be at this committee. This is certainly a subject that's near and dear to my heart. The fact of the matter is Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing has not only Lake Huron, but Lake Superior as well. I think your testimony is quite enlightening.
Mrs. Conant, you indicate in your documentation about the R and D investment, that a total of 77% of Canada's research and development, R and D, occurs within the Great Lakes basin.
I'm just wondering, has there been a reduction in that funding?
