Mr. Chairman, the public service has certainly conducted inter-departmental studies over these past few years. For our part, we have certainly kept our minister informed, but we were still not ready to produce a major coordinated and integrated report. We did work on this file, as did the departments of Fisheries and Oceans and of the Environment.
I don't know if my colleague, who is more familiar with the water file, would like to add a few words.
