Mr. Chair, with regard to climate change adaptation, there is an envelope of $35 million over five years for Natural Resources Canada. This was a new program instituted as of budget 2011 and some of the changes from year to year simply reflect the profile of the funding.
Some years, depending on where you are in the project, you're spending less, and in other years you're spending more. We're now moving to another phase of the program, but there's going to be a fluctuating profile over the years and we can certainly provide the committee with the overall profile.
It's not a structural declining trend; it's just variation from year to year in the profile.
