The model act we drafted was principally around making some substantial progress in the way the federal government carries out sustainable development strategies. You're quite correct that in the original version of our draft we included a provision for an independent environment commissioner. That was in late 2006. Since then, I believe Mr. McGuinty introduced a measure to try to establish an independent environment commissioner, but that failed. I've seen objections to that provision in the bill, as introduced by Mr. Godfrey.
Seeing the writing on the wall and keeping our eye on what the principal objective of this bill is, we've stepped back from the belief that an independent commissioner is fundamental to the carrying out of this act. At the end of the day, we are satisfied with the clause Mr. Thompson approves of.
