No, we haven't, in short, and you're right about the IJC. It was established many years ago, as you know, and sometimes it's caught between a rock and a hard place because it has to deal with priorities, policies, and practices of the United States.
In terms of protecting the Great Lakes, Mr. Szabo, the last federal budget allocated some money for endangered species. But whether this government, or any government, could convince the IJC to sit down with the Americans to toughen each other's mandate and have more of a stick, shall we say, to punish polluters or punish those who damage our waters on both sides of the border is probably something for the two foreign ministries to debate, not the Green Budget Coalition.
