Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. First of all, I want to welcome you to the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development.
When you talked earlier about your follow-up work in Chapter 1 of your 2002 report, you asked us to pay particular attention to the progress made over the last few years and the many empty circles in your matrix. These numerous empty circles which appear in areas where there should be better coordination between departments demonstrate that progress has been very limited. It seems difficult to maintain coherence between the actions of departments. I believe that the first demonstration of this fact was given to us last week when Health Canada said that no common policy framework has been put into place.
You say that 27 recommendations were put forward in your 2002 report. My question is directed to Mr. Moffet and Mr. Clarkson. As of today, on the 27 recommendations contained in the report, how many have been implemented?
