Madam Speaker, I thank the member for the opportunity to clarify that.
In fact, these were recommendations that the efficiencies be found in these various programs. That has happened all across the government. We took great pains to look at the various areas where we could find these savings, not just in science and technology but in all departments that had the least impact on the overall outcomes, including the effect on full-time people.
We have seen moderate reductions across the government meeting our commitment to the Canadian people in the last election in finding those efficiencies. Of course, those were recommended up the ladder to the departments and on.
