Thank you.
I just want to point out the function of the CCME and the frustration. I've now been an environment minister for nine years. We meet once a year for a day, chaired by the federal government, and it's very, very difficult. I sit on a number of these other kinds of boards—forestry and resource development—and we meet once a year. You bring all the jurisdictions together; it's very difficult in one day. There's no follow-up. There are no calls during the year. There are all these subgroups that Dr. Fox talks about. But the political reality is that it's very difficult to do meaningful work in that amount of time. The last meeting we had was the first time we had got agreement around the table to actually mention the words “climate change” in a press release. It's a kind of success; that's how we measure success. We're doing stuff on producer responsibility for packaging. There's all this background work, on other water things, that rarely hits the ministerial table.
CCME has a role, but we have fragmented the environment into so many small pieces that it's very, very difficult to do the things you and your members are talking about—fracking water across all its various areas that are impacted across departments, and those types of things.
