Thank you, Mr. Chair. In the spirit of giving everyone an opportunity to ask questions, I'm going to be splitting my time--five and five on this side, anyway.
Again, Commissioner, thank you for being here. We appreciate your report. It's a very good report.
I have a quick question to start out. In your chapter 5, I believe it is, on environmental petitions, you said that “Since 2001, climate change and air quality issues have been referenced increasingly in environmental petitions received by the Auditor General of Canada.” So those are the issues that have been expressed as being very important to Canadians. They are both climate change, which affects the environment globally, and pollution levels, air quality levels, which are affecting the health of Canadians, and actually many deaths in Canada are attributed to that.
I really do appreciate this report...challenging government to take climate change as a high priority, which we do.
On the issue of air quality, when would we be looking for a report on that?
