So that will be a cost of $2 billion to the Canadian economy, and we've seen the government actually cutting back on investments aimed at getting a handle on the impacts of climate change. That's an important point.
You also raised the issue of the continuing uncertainty surrounding PEARL, the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory up on Ellesmere Island, which provides fundamental and very important Arctic research. I think that's an important point to stress.
Can you tell us, then, if we don't look to that investment of $50 million a year, given the global costs that the Canadian economy and Canadians will experience, what the cost will be of not making those investments and of continuing this process of cutting back and slashing funding for research into climate change?
