I know that the committee is going to be shocked at this, but I actually agree with Mr. Gerretsen on one point he made regarding the positioning of sustainable development in the federal government. When I ran the sustainable development program under former premier Gary Filmon, I reported directly to him.
Wouldn't it be better if the Federal Sustainable Development Act was managed out of “head office” in the federal government so you wouldn't get this inter-ministerial conflict that will probably arise because of this act?
