As you say, based on our information, funding has been frozen while they evaluate the program. You would certainly be given much more information if you put the question directly to the Department or the Treasury Board. What I perhaps should add, with respect to what you've already mentioned, is that before pledging to evaluate the program itself, the Department of Natural Resources clearly indicated that it would wait to see what future the program might have and that, depending on what the new plan includes, it would determine the next step. That was very clear in the documents we examined. The next step was indeed to proceed with an actual evaluation of the program.
