Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the caution at the conclusion of your 2002 report that they do not apply to the performance of Canada's new government. They certainly are instructive about the poor record of the previous Liberal government.
We've identified a lot of implementation problems with CEPA 1999. They're now ours to clean up, and we're certainly grateful for your help in this process toward that goal.
After identifying a number of problems in implementation, is there anything inherent in CEPA itself, though, that is acting as a barrier to achieving the original goals of CEPA 1999? Are any of its provisions causing some of its own problems?
I'll suggest one later, but I want to hear your thoughts on that, if you can point the way.
