Environment committee Thank you for that question, because that is one of the central messages from our work, which is that the department has spent about $370 million as of the time of our audit and it really doesn't have a good sense of the impacts. There are quite a few specific issues we raise in this audit, but the short answer is that not much is known about whether we're talking in general about the impacts or about something as specific as you've asked in the question about phosphorus runoff.

Environment committee Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are several programs that have been put in place by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The key one is agricultural environmental farm plans. Basically, agricultural producers look at their own farm situations to ask where the big environmental risks are.

Health committee Thank you, Chair. I have just a short comment, which is to say again that it is worthwhile to follow up on that baseline report or, as they were calling it, comprehensive review. And it has been promised already to Parliament. The public accounts committee has been promised a copy of that, so I would think it would be available.
