Let's talk about funding for the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences. We know this is a very sensitive subject for the Conservative government, which still doesn't believe in climate change. There are significant reductions. Do you think this has been redirected elsewhere? Really, that will have a negative impact on this sector of the economy and research. I know that you can't get involved in politics.
To the Conservative government, its concern being sovereignty in northern Canada, it's good for shipping and exploration. Probably the less climate research done, the better the chance that it will warm up and we can get through the ice to exploit the resources. I would not say it is a big diabolical plan, but still it is surprising that programs like this would be abandoned. Probably people in your department are advising the government on the research grants plan. I know grants are still being given to other sectors.
Was climate a priority for you when you were preparing important suggestions?
