Mr. Chairman, certainly that committee he referred to hasn't met recently. We can find little evidence, actually, that there's been very much of substance going on at the centre to drive these strategies as part of an overarching government process to put in place sustainable development.
Let me give an example of what we find isn't there. When we look at the process within which these strategies fit, there is no overarching framework for the government as a whole that would identify the goals for sustainable development that the government is pursuing and how the individual departments that prepare individual sustainable development strategies are to contribute to those goals.
In our judgment, not having that overarching strategy for the government as a whole makes it very difficult for departments to do meaningful work at the departmental level because, really, to some extent at least, they're flying blind.
