Thank you. I endeavour at every opportunity to correct my colleagues on the other side of the House.
As I said in my remarks, and as I've said any number of times since we began this dialogue, the budget of the Environmental Assessment Agency has not been cut. There are no job cuts. No job cuts have been made and none are contemplated. In fact, as I've said, the agency will receive funding through the major projects management office initiative that was renewed in Budget 2012.
The agency's 2012-13 budget, this fiscal year's budget, will be $31 million, which is an increase of $1.5 million over the amount originally slated to sunset. I think the opposition sometimes misunderstands the difference between sunsetting funds for agencies that are required to be renewed over a period of years.... But this funding has been renewed, as requested, and this additional funding of $1.5 million is intended, as I said in my opening remarks, to broaden our capacity to consult with aboriginal Canadians.
