Environment committee  Yes. Certainly, under our agreement with the United States, we're both working to retire areas of concern. We've made progress in that regard, and the work we're doing in Hamilton harbour represents one of the most significant areas of current activity.

Environment committee  Well, U.S. Steel, which is the successor of—

Environment committee  —Stelco, is a partner in that. They're providing steel actually to support the construction of the berms in the containment area that will ultimately be built.

Environment committee  The habitat stewardship program was an existing program that was put in place to help implement recovery actions and habitat restoration in support of the Species at Risk Act. We have expanded that program and, as I mentioned, created a new stream of activity to really be prevent

Environment committee  Under the federal sustainable development strategy government-wide there's a commitment to reduce GHGs in government operations as a whole by 17% by 2020. We report on that indicator and we are now in the second phase of the implementation of that plan.

Environment committee  This is scientific work on fish habitat. Separately, of course, we are undertaking remediation activities, in particular, in Hamilton harbour. The government made an announcement of $46.3 million, working in partnership with the province, U.S. Steel and others, to build an effect

Environment committee  As part of the federal sustainable development strategy, there is a greening government dimension to that which includes rules for both new builds and for retrofits which meet different LEED standards.

Environment committee  Thank you for the question. The Great Lakes is one of the ecosystem priorities under the department. We invest a whole range of both financial resources and scientific effort to improve the water quality in the Great Lakes. Specifically, we're transferring funds to DFO to undert

Environment committee  Well, we have an ongoing assessment program. We identify projects and do an assessment.

Environment committee  I would have to check on that. Climate change, both mitigation and adaptation, is one of four key priorities under our departmental science plan. I'd be happy to verify whether we are specifically addressing the impacts on contaminated sites.

Environment committee  Sure. The science plan focuses our scientific effort in areas that are aligned with federal priorities. The first is contaminants, the scientific work we do to address contaminants, chemicals that could enter the environment. The second is in the area of warnings, both weather an

Environment committee  I can verify that, but the only recent case that comes to mind is the case where we sought an emergency protection order for the sage grouse.

Environment committee  I would have to verify in terms of where we are in terms of COSEWIC recommendations. I'm sorry, I don't have that information today, but if the committee wishes it, I can certainly provide it.

Environment committee  Sorry, what oversight exists?
