Fisheries committee  I don't know, but I'd ask Mr. Hegge to respond. It may be related to the transition this year, in terms of the change of government and that process. I'm not sure. Cal?

Fisheries committee  No, that was a special program. I can ask Mr. Bevan to give details, but funding was the result of a memorandum to cabinet dedicated to Marshall--

Fisheries committee  Why don't you run through the history of that, David, because it is quite relevant to some of the pressures at the moment.

Fisheries committee  I think what you're referring to is the coast guard modernization. Certainly part of the argument for the $99 million, if I can put it that way, was that in fact we hadn't rolled resources from.... We took $84 million out of our administrative overhead, for example, and those kinds of things.

Fisheries committee  I'll kick it off, and maybe Cal or Monsieur Paradis may wish to join. The minister's direction on science has been pretty clear, and in that context a portion of the transformational funding was put to science, around $9 million or so. The minister has also directed that the ERC reductions relative to stock assessment not happen.

Fisheries committee  That's right.

Fisheries committee  I am personally not aware of the project, but perhaps Ms. Kirby could address it.

Fisheries committee  I agree. I will send you a letter some time next week.

Fisheries committee  I'll start, and then I'll ask Mr. Hegge to add. The bulk, I suspect, is for salaries. The department has about 10,300 people, and 87% to 88% of those folks are in the regions; 1,000 to 1,300 or so are in the national capital region in the headquarters. Some of them do headquarter roles, but with the hydrographic service, for example, because of the co-location with the Geological Survey, a number of the people in the national capital region aren't doing headquarters functions.

Fisheries committee  Yes. There are some national capital programs as well, which I'll ask Cal to talk to. Things like the fisheries surveillance program and the aerial surveillance program have traditionally been funded out of the national capital region. Cal, do you want to talk to that?

Fisheries committee  That's correct if you assume that the $20 million doesn't sunset.

Fisheries committee  It would currently be funded out of the $96 million.

Fisheries committee  We try to spend as much as we can on bricks and mortar and actually making a difference.

Fisheries committee  That's correct.

Fisheries committee  If the $20 million doesn't sunset, our estimate is that $35 million is the right number. We actually confuse ourselves by talking about $35 million, but it's $35 million with the $20 million in. In other words, if the program stays at $97 million, our estimate is--
