Right. So if there's a directive that is meant to be sent and isn't being sent and isn't being applied.... I want to get into the question of compliance that a number of my colleagues have picked up on today. I'm intrigued by my Conservative colleagues insisting that somehow the economy exists outside of our environment and our ecology. It's a fascinating fifth-dimension perception.
There's a question I have for Mr. Bachmann. In terms of compliance being connected to success, in Canada we've had many strategies. We've had many government protocols that do not get followed. The compliance rate is abysmal, and that's been admitted to, and that's been across different types of governments.
Do there need to be fiscal measures, penalties, or financial penalties for deputy ministers and senior cabinet people who are meant to be applying these directives? What is it that has been successful in Germany in regard to actually following through? Does Canada need to consider some of those applications here?
