I'll modify my comments. Thank you.

It sounded to me as though real progress is being made at Environment Canada on its Fisheries Act responsibilities. From your report I read that the enforcement branch has a number of important quality assurance and control practices in place, including reporting independence for the enforcement branch.

I also read, I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, that 15 out of 15 randomly selected enforcement actions demonstrated compliance with the compliance and enforcement policy. Did I read that correctly?
