With regard to the appropriateness of policies and acts, do you believe that it is the Commissioner of the Environment of Canada who should be verifying and evaluating the effect of the policies, laws and actions of the provinces with regard to these objectives?
In Quebec, there is an environment commissioner. He has a job to do and verifies if the policies implemented by the government of Quebec with regard to sustainable development are fulfilled. The commissioner verifies if the objectives have been reached. I would invite you to read the latest, very critical, report of Mr. Harvey Mead, Quebec commissioner of the environment, a real pioneer. He is very critical of the government.
Do you believe it should be up to the government, to the Commissioner of the Environment of Canada, to ensure that the provinces, following upon their cooperation with the federal government, have reached the objectives set out in the bill?
