Do you think it would be helpful to this process if there were actually an act to require the development and implementation of a national sustainable development strategy, and if this act required the reporting of progress against a standard set of environmental indicators? It perhaps might also involve, as this committee has suggested, the appointment of an independent Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development accountable to Parliament. The act would also require the adoption of specific goals with respect to sustainable development in Canada.
Do you think that would help alleviate the problem that you have been identifying over the years?
