Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First of all, I want to say that I think the role of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, and of her assistants, is an important one, and we are very pleased to have them here before the Committee. We encourage them to continue their work, which we see as absolutely fundamental.
Now I have a question for you, Ms. Gélinas. In your 2006 report, you again emphasize the importance of leadership; we discussed this earlier. You suggest that the government should develop a clear sustainable development strategy.
To your knowledge, has the Department of Natural Resources begun to outline a federal strategy on sustainable development?
