Mr. Chair, I want to find out the issue of analysis of field samples that we don’t have any budget. Can I ask the Minister in terms of this item here: analysis of field samples?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We don’t have an agreement finalized yet for this year and, according to the rules of the main estimates, we can’t put it in here until it’s signed off and agreed upon. So that’s why there’s nothing there this year. Through you, Mr. Chair, I’ll ask Ms. Magrum to give more detail on this area. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Magrum

If you look at both pages for the work performed on behalf of others, typically other than when we have multi-year agreements in place, the budget dollars are reflected in the revised estimates once we’re in that current year and we have the signed agreements in place.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could I say that there are two other areas here that don’t show any dollars. Is that the same type of scenario with the federal government on the funding arrangements?

That’s correct, Mr. Chairman. Those dollars have to be confirmed so that we can include it. They will probably show up next year.
