That's a great question.
With all due respect, members of Parliament do come to a decision. The government does end up presenting a plan. We then count on the Auditor General and the environment commissioner to report on whether those goals are being met.
That's the question here. It really should be elected officials who represent the public who should be having these debates, and we should then be reviewing whether those resources are being spent in order to achieve what the laws that we pass come forward with.
