Thank you.
Ms. Goucher, you talked about staff changes at Environment Canada and so on. People often use the word “cuts”, but again, all that's happened at Environment Canada, and indeed in DFO, is a reallocations of funds. For example, the Randle Reef project, which our government is funding to the tune of $46.3 million a year, is essentially a reallocation from within Environment Canada.
Don't you think spending hard-earned taxpayer dollars on direct environmental remediation that generates real environmental results is a better use of government resources? I'm not going to minimize the role of staff, but again, this spending is perhaps at the expense of process and those other things that in the short term, at least, do not contribute to environmental remediation.
