I take it, then, from the answers, Mr. Chair, and Mr. Watson's intervention, that we're not going to be receiving the details of the cuts that have a direct bearing on the safety management systems, inspections, audits, etc., so let me move on to another line of questioning, if I may.
The government is saying in another venue that all is okay with the world on safety. It even has public servants, Mr. Chair, repeating the mantra of something about a global safety system that's the best in the universe. I forget what the slogan is, but even public servants are being asked to use the slogan now, which is unfortunate. But I want to go to these cuts again, because they do have a direct bearing on the ability to improve our safety system.
We can't get any information as to where the resources have been managed. We don't know whether there have been cuts for inspectors, etc., but one thing we do know is that Canadians are watching television and seeing hundreds of advertisements on television—hundreds—that are put on by the government and are talking about “responsible resource development”.
Last year, the government spent $16.5 million on advertising—$16.5 million—in this very sector, including marine safety. Do I have that right? Is there a pronounced advertising program in place to help condition Canadians' belief that things are safe and better?
