Thank you. I'd like to add to that.
One of our issues, and it's not specific to Natural Resources Canada, but more broadly in terms of probably being true of most government departments, is that we think that what they do in the strategies are important steps towards sustainable development, but we really have been concerned about whether collectively that does enough.
The other thing I would say builds on something the commissioner said in her opening remarks. These strategies are very useful to you as parliamentarians and as a parliamentary committee because really they contain a series of commitments that the department has made towards protecting the environment, towards achieving sustainable development. For example, in that strategy there were a number of very interesting commitments in terms of increasing efficiency. If you bear with me, I can cite a quick example just to give you a flavour for what we're talking about here.
For example, the department committed to--and this is part of achieving emissions reductions, so this is in the climate change field--and I quote: “By 2006, improve average energy intensity by 20% in retrofitted commercial and institutional buildings which have received financial incentives.” So there's an example of the kind of commitment that you can use in your work as parliamentarians to really hold the department accountable.
So that's much of the focus of our work.
