My mandate is to report every year on sustainable development strategies. There are more than 30 of them and, just to give you an order of magnitude, all across the federal public service, there are more than 2,500 commitments.
I'm sure you can understand that is impossible for me to verify all of them. As a result, this is what we do: every year, we select a certain number of departments and a certain number of their commitments, and we audit those and report on progress.
This year, we tried to look more at climate change, in order to focus more on that in the report. As a result, I can't give you a general answer with respect to the progress made in terms of strategies, but I can say that these strategies--and it's really too bad--have not received the attention they deserve.
If the Standing Committee on Natural Resources decides subsequently that it wants to know about the Department of Natural Resources's game plan for sustainable development, I would suggest that starting in January, you hold a Committee meeting to look at its strategies and question it in that regard. You'll see for yourselves that there is something for everyone.
