I also want to be sure of the scope of your audit, at least in relation to enforcement. As I understand it, the enforcement directorate deals with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and the Fisheries Act. Is that correct?
1 p.m.
Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, Office of the Auditor General of Canada
Correct.
