I can appreciate 2005-06, but I'm looking directly at figures from your department for 2008 and 2009. The total for 2005-06 shows $240.2 million. The total for 2008-09 shows $217.4 million.
I may not be a mathematician, but that shows a decrease, and with your science framework for the future and all the pressures put against science, how does the department justify the decrease over a two-year period?
