I assume you folks read the quotation from Mr. Vaughan's recent report. In it, the environment commissioner notes “a claim of expected results even though it is very unlikely that it will be able to report real, measurable, and verifiable results.”
Mr. Vaughan, in auditing your government's work on climate change and other pollutants, notes that you're not measuring results. The predecessor to Minister Raitt was involved in the issue of the bus transit pass subsidy. The reports coming in now are showing that the government is spending about $6,000 per tonne of greenhouse gas savings. This is extraordinarily expensive, considering that carbon is trading at about $30 on the world market. Is there anything being done in your department to start measuring better and accounting for money spent and the choices you have going into the future?
