The environmental damages fund was established by statute in, I think, 1985. It's administered by Environment Canada.

We are going to be working with it. What we will do that's new, given these changes in the Fisheries Act, is we will work with Environment Canada to identify where those funds should go. Right now it's administered as a special purposes account in the Department of the Environment.
