Environment committee  When mandates are laid out in the law, we organize ourselves to be able to fulfill our commitments. This is what you are seeing when our organization reduces the number of performance audits. All our office's financial work is required by law.

Environment committee  If I could just add, Mr. Longfield, we are already incorporating the sustainable development goals into our work, but we can and we should be doing a better job. That is exactly our goal. Regardless of how we decide to structure or set ourselves up to manage our people, it doesn't mean we're taking away the importance of them.

Environment committee  When it comes to the kind of expertise we have within the office, we have CPAs, lawyers, economists, environmentalists, engineers, so many. We do have a pocket of rich experience and knowledge about the environment and sustainable development area, and we're trying to make sure that we broaden and expand it.

Environment committee  You are correct. We launched a countrywide search for the new commissioner of the environment and sustainable development at the end of October. What we have done so far to find—

Environment committee  I personally have not yet. They have communicated with me, and we are reaching out through our professional networks to make sure that people know we're searching.

Environment committee  As I mentioned earlier, while we do have a group that we call the commissioner's group, it is more of an administrative function because of who they report to within our organization's structure. Our performance audit practice has specialists from all fields.

Karen Hogan

Environment committee  I couldn't really tell you how many people are on a particular team, because as I said, we don't have people who are designated within a group.

Environment committee  No, not at all, the group was not abolished. What we're doing is that we're taking the skills and specialties of people like Ms. Leach and Mr. McKenzie, who are here today, and spreading them out across our work.

Public Accounts committee  I unfortunately don't have that. Maybe Philippe does, but really, where we're seeing the lost revenue is where the products are coming from a foreign vendor.

Karen Hogan

Public Accounts committee  I think you've categorized it well. That number is based on e-commerce that we looked at, and we did not look at physical goods that would enter through the low-value dollar shipment program. Yes, if you incorporate both, then this number is, as we said earlier, on the low end.
