Thank you for that.
I see in the graph charts we have before us there's a breakdown of where the expenditures are for compliance and enforcement, and fisheries protection. These two are separate categories in the graph charts we have under strategic outcome and program. Collectively they make up about 75% of that section of the budget, which I think is an excellent allocation to protection.
You touched on it, though, Minister, you directly dealt with this. And Mr. Gillis talked about it in his presentation. I could sense it in yours, when you were talking to us about the pride you have in DFO science work. Mr. Gillis talked about it in respect to the Asian carp initiative.
Could you touch on how important the work that DFO science does is, what it contributes to the management aspect, how they work together—as Mr. Gillis touched on—and how the science work supports the critical work of compliance, and enforcement, and fisheries protection?
