Today, by coincidence, the federal commissioner for sustainable development has issued his report. He sits in the Office of the Auditor General of Canada. Among the reports he has issued today is his report on water and oil sands and whether federal fisheries are adequately protecting habitat and protection from toxins.
In his report, he expresses that there is an agreement between the Alberta government and Canada on the administration of toxins as they impact water, which includes in the tar sands area. He has reported concerns that the committee has not even met in two years and the fact that the federal government has for quite some time been relying completely on the provincial government to be monitoring the impact on the tar sands.
I'm wondering if either of your governments have ever been approached by the federal government to become a party to these administrative agreements on managing the waterways.
