I did notice, particularly from the forest products and mining associations, a number of overlapping recommendations or observations about the act that are really worthwhile for the committee. They seem to reiterate other submissions to the committee.
One is that you seem to be berating the government for the delays on recovery plans and action plans. It seems to be an ongoing complaint by all the submitters.
An interesting one is failure to promulgate the necessary regulations and policies. I really appreciate your bringing that to our attention. Obviously it's a part of the act that helps provide legal clarity for everybody.
With reference to the full funding of SARA, I wouldn't mind hearing you supplement a bit on that.
Mr. de Vries, I also noted your concern with the lack of progress on moving on the action plans and the need to refer matters to the courts. I'd appreciate hearing from both of you on that.
