Madam Chair, the reason the greenhouse gas emissions are down is that courageous provincial leaders have taken action.
Environment Canada's measurement stations and analysis for ozone trends are a gold standard in the northern latitudes, which are highly vulnerable to stratospheric ozone depletion. Canadian observations were essential to the discovery of last year's Arctic two million square kilometre ozone hole.
Will the minister specify how many of the 10 ozonesonde stations will be supported under the new budget? How many scientists will be supported for management and analysis relating to each of the networks?
