That's very generous, Mr. Chair.
Just to be clear, we submitted our interpretation of the facts. And this is about interpretation, not about facts and the conclusions you draw from them. The Auditor General declined to accept our interpretation and went ahead.
We don't contest, as I said previously, that the ad hoc programs and annual funding is a problem, and we hope that we move forward. What I disagree with is that it leaves the impression that nothing happened because there wasn't a formal program. Over 160 projects were financed over the last ten years. There is a lot of activity on monitoring. It is a bit improvised and ad hoc, but I wouldn't want parliamentarians to get the impression that there has been no environmental monitoring in the Northwest Territories over the last few years.
