Okay.
Mr. Godfrey, I'm new to this--with the weather, Nathan is trying to get back to Ottawa today, as many of us were earlier--but what confidence might we have in this bill, given the track record of government, where we've brought in sustainability plans since the early to mid-1990s, and each time the commissioner of the environment finds us in non-compliance, wags a finger, there's this great hue and cry, and then we go back to doing what we've always done.
In my quick review, it seems you've actually removed some of what might have been put in place to actually.... You need some vehicles to actually challenge those who pollute or those who would not be acting in terms of the sustainability principles.
We've talked about an environmental commissioner. They have one in Ontario. I was part of the government, in the early nineties, that brought that in. Mr. Miller, of North Bay, Ontario, not only has the ability to hear from citizens where things are being done wrong, but to actually lay fines and challenge industry and others who would affect the environment that way.
What's in this bill that would give us any confidence that it won't be another of those feel-good kinds of “we'll put a sustainability act in place” but will not get us where we want to go?
