Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My initial questions are for Ms. Gagnon-Rocque.
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your testimony and for being with us, Ms. Gagnon-Rocque. You wrote a master's thesis on the penal concept in environmental law. We can talk about the Volkswagen case, but I'll try to broaden the discussion a bit.
In the 2020-21 departmental plan, Environment and Climate Change Canada intends to continue its risk-based approach to the enforcement of federal environmental laws. As a lawyer, what is your understanding of this specific risk-based approach to environmental law?
My other question is this: Does this position jeopardize the criminal provisions currently in place?
