There are a couple of points on that. First of all, at the program level the departments--especially NRCan in this case--were able to provide some good information, even if it took a while to gather it. The information was there but it was not readily accessible. Climate change is really a horizontal issue where many departments are involved. We found that every department, and sometimes every program, had a different way of collecting and wrapping up information. So if someone wanted to get an overview of progress made in terms of results and spending, it was a challenge and it's still a challenge.
You talked about the $6.3 billion. That was money announced by the previous government up to the budget of 2005. So these types of numbers are easy to gather; we just go back to the previous budgets. When it came time to get the information on how much money was spent, it was really because of a question that was asked a couple of months ago by the committee on environment and sustainable development. We were able to access that information because the Treasury Board was gathering it in response to the committee. Otherwise we would have had a lot of problems gathering it. The reason is that there's no consolidated system within the federal government to gather information and give accurate and updated information in a short period of time.
