Thank you very much, Chair.
I think that the passing of that motion highlights a concern around the unknowns that exist. When I saw that Environment and Climate Change....
I represent an area with lots of farmers. There have been concerns highlighted to me by farmers who get correspondence from different levels of government. They don't know what certain demands are, what they mean or what's included in that. They're asked to agree to things that they don't necessarily have all the details about.
The fact that there are unanswered questions highlights how important it is to really get to the bottom of this. If that is impacting the privacy rights of Canadians, certainly we need to be very clear on that.
There's also the fact that Environment and Climate Change Canada recently had a job posting where they were looking for climate enforcement officers. What does that look like? Farmers in my constituency are asking what that looks like. I certainly would ask those questions.
Commissioner, you've outlined some of the concerns. I would, if I could, ask you to provide some specific examples of what needs to be changed in order for you to not only have the tools but to ensure that the legislative framework is in place so that the questions that we have asked—and all parties have asked—can in fact be answered. Those questions are not currently able to be answered because of gaps or because of regulatory frameworks that don't go far enough in Canada.
Could you outline some of those things?
