Other supranational agencies, such as UNESCO, gather information, so I imagine it wouldn't be too much of a problem under this bill. For example, Statistics Canada gathers information on activities that are in provincial jurisdictions. They have reports on water consumption.
Perhaps Mr. Newman or the other two panellists would know this. Is there a legal requirement for entities operating in a provincial jurisdiction to report to Statistics Canada such things as water consumption or recycling rates or what have you, as Mr. Bigras mentioned? Is there some sort of legal lever that allows the federal government to get this information?
