Madam Chair, the minister has still not told me how many people are going to work in the integrated offices.
I will change the topic since the minister is unable to give me a clear answer.
With respect to shale gas, a number of Canadians have expressed concerns about shale gas extraction because of its environmental impact. In September 2011, the minister announced that he had asked the Council of Canadian Academies to bring together a panel of experts to conduct an independent study on the state of scientific knowledge on the possible environmental impact of developing Canadian shale gas resources.
When will that study be finished and will it be made public?
