There is no timeframe to respond to our recommendation, first of all.
If I may put what you have just referred to in context, the paragraph before was referring to some type of commitment from the Minister of Natural Resources, Mr. Gary Lunn, when he testified before the committee saying that the department was in the process of developing an energy framework or strategy. It's not clear which word sums up what they were working on, but it was some sort of energy document.
What we have said, and that's what the recommendation referred to, is that the government should be clear in terms of what it intends to achieve in that sector and on what the overall game plan is in Canada with respect to energy--how the government will reconcile energy development, economic growth in this country, and greenhouse gas reduction.
With respect to the response, you're right to say that it's vague, to say the least. This is why I have said that when the government plan or approach becomes publicly known it will be important, especially for you, because I will not follow up on those recommendations in the near future, but it will be extremely important for the committee to ask the government how it has factored in my recommendations in their plan. My understanding is that the government has said they will come back and explain exactly how that was taken into account.
