Fisheries committee  About 10 to 15 minutes.

Fisheries committee  Yes, the money has been earmarked in 2009-10, but the money has yet to be accessed in the fiscal framework. So it doesn't show in the main estimates currently, but it will be accessed through the supplementary estimates in 2010-11.

Fisheries committee  Yes, from a technical perspective, the budget 2010 items obviously are not reflected in the main estimates you see today. During the year, the Treasury Board Secretariat will freeze part of the money for the operational freeze that's been announced, the 1.5% basically. Through th

Fisheries committee  As you noticed, there is a total increase of $326 million over the last year. Most of this increase results from the budget 2009 economic action plan.

Fisheries committee  It would be maintenance for small craft harbours.

Fisheries committee  It's a fairly stable budget.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. I believe that you all have a copy of my short deck, which I will go through. Please turn to page 2, which is basically the table of contents.

The numbers will actually come out through budget 2011, but I think the department is well on its way to addressing strategic review.

Fisheries committee  I'm not sure about morale, but what I can say is that from a financial perspective, yes, we are dealing with it. Obviously we're in budget allocation mode right now, as we speak, and that freeze is, at this point, estimated, because we have yet to receive the final number from th

Fisheries committee  To come back to what you said, yes, we look at every program and we do rely on certain data, such as, for example, audits and evaluations that would have been done on the relevance and effectiveness of the different programs.

Fisheries committee  Basically, the funding allocated to the Pacific region as per the 2010-11 main estimates is $266 million. I don't have the details on the number of FTEs at this point.

Fisheries committee  Yes, I have that on another page. Actually, we went through that presentation. From a personnel perspective, I can tell you from a Pacific perspective that out of the $266 million, $179 million is affected to personnel costs--for example, salaries. Percentage-wise, we're talking
