Thank you, Mr. Chair. Our inspection targets have been met each year since devolution. Based on the planned inspections for the remainder of this fiscal year, it's anticipated that we will also meet the target this year. We carried out 791 inspections in 2015-16; 678 inspections out of a target of 766 this fiscal year. So it went over the target. We have a very busy winter inspection ahead of us yet, and so we have absolutely no reason not to believe we wouldn't make our target for this year also.

The funding that we have with the reduction, we had one position that hadn't been filled for two years, which was a diamond inspector. One of the reasons it wasn't filled before Snap Lake went into care and maintenance was it was not required. It was a position that was never filled and when Snap Lake did go into care and maintenance; we gave up that position that was never filled as a reduction.

We looked hard at the operations over the past two years, plus years of operating history, and we made careful choices about where reductions could be reasonably made without impacting services of the inspections program and we feel -- I feel also -- strongly that the funding that we have in place is adequate to carry out any and all inspections. For example, we didn't budget for Enbridge shutting their pipeline down and having the problems, but yet we had enough resources to cover that incident that was a surprise to everybody. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
