I'm going to ask Ms. Gomez and Mr. Brandes the same question.
Mr. Brandes, as I mentioned earlier, I met you at Massey College in the fall. In your remarks, you said that the Canada Water Agency had some recommendations for dealing with the national climate crisis by identifying vulnerabilities and promoting mitigation and adaptation measures for flooding and droughts, as well as for reducing pollution.
The mandate seems to have been drawn up by the Agency itself, because we, the elected representatives, didn't have any input. Many witnesses have appeared before us and they all want to put their own stamp on what the Canada Water Agency should be doing. That might be an interesting approach. For the time being, many see water as a driver of economic prosperity and job creation. And yet, when you spoke about prevention, it really caught my attention.
Are you unperturbed about the fact that no policy process was implemented to specify the key objectives and principles of the Canada Water Agency prior to its establishment?
