Thank you.

Thanks to all the witnesses for being here.

I'm going to ask Mr. Couroux a question.

In her opening remarks, Madam Pelletier said that the enforcement branch and the relevant programs have taken to heart the recommendations of this committee, which I assume is a reference to the 2017 study by this committee on CEPA.

In the government response, then-environment minister McKenna wrote to the committee saying that “some of the...recommendations would be best realized through implementation rather than statutory change”. Then Madam Pelletier listed some of the changes that have happened.

Mr. Couroux, with these changes and these tools in place as they are now, would your enforcement officers have been able to uncover what Volkswagen was doing?
