What we found in the regulations and across the board was not an issue of implementation itself. Rather, we found an inability at Environment Canada and other departments to measure the results. Do they know the results of their interventions? If you don't know the results of your interventions, it's difficult to know if the problem is getting worse, getting better, or remaining the same. In this situation, it's hard to know how to deploy your interventions and how to apply scarce resources to them.
On two of the regulations, we found that the level of compliance, according to Environment Canada, was actually quite high. The question is, high against what? Do we know the sufficiency? Do we know what we need to do? There was a gap there. With respect to the third regulation, there was almost no enforcement, but it was not a priority of the department. From these three examples, it's difficult to say whether this pattern exists in all regulatory approaches. What we saw, however, at both Agriculture and Environment, was a systematic inability to measure the results of programs. And there's a lot of money at stake in this deficiency.
