We can only provide the follow-up we did at the time, in 2002. It is always somewhat frustrating for auditors to give testimony on an issue such as the review of the Act, because we do not have necessarily up-to-date information. This is why our approach has been to identify a number of questions that we ourselves, as auditors, would want to ask the department in order to determine what results have been produced in implementing the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.
In the end, the substantive question that needs to be asked is whether CEPA meets the objectives and produces the expected results.
