In Canada, the provinces also generally have required follow-up programs of proponents. In other countries, it's a standard measure that's seen internationally as a good practice.
The follow-up has another purpose as well. I've talked about ensuring purely for that project that all the mitigation measures are working, but it also has an advantage to us at the agency, because if we have been recommending a certain mitigation measure and we learn from a particular project that the mitigation measure is not working, then we're not going to recommend that for the next project of a similar type.
I know that the Auditor General has been very concerned that Canadians benefit from information of that nature and has asked us to ensure that the results of follow-up programs are integrated into future decision statements.
