Mr. Chair, that's a great question. It gives us an opportunity to clarify that.
When we talk about a change in machinery of government, we never talked about using anybody other than DFO as the sea lamprey control agent.
To finish off the question that I was trying to answer earlier, we're quite pleased with the work that our partners in DFO have done on sea lamprey control. That's not the issue. The issue with the department is not with sea lamprey control.
We'd be happy if we were able to continue with the department delivering sea lamprey control. We just have to address this conflict of interest that we have where they're delivering the funding on behalf of Canada and also delivering sea lamprey control at the same time.
