Good afternoon.
Thank you for being here.
This is very interesting.
I know that you often have to deal with requests, delays and perhaps a lack of power. As we look at the Auditor General's report on progress made by departments and agencies in implementing sustainable development strategies, we see, on page 7 of the French version, that two of the 10 contributing actions related to air quality were not addressed.
According to Health Canada reports, air pollution causes several thousand deaths each year.
Can you tell us whether more attention should be paid to the connection between health and the environment and whether you should insist that this be done?
