Well, Mr. Chair, the deputy seemed to indicate that he disagreed with some of our conclusions around the cumulative monitoring. We indicated in the report that under the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act, the department received very clear responsibilities to do this cumulative impact monitoring. We note in the report as a fact that 11 years after receiving that mandate, there was no program in place to monitor cumulative impact.
We go through, as I have explained to the committee many times before, a very long process with departments to ensure that the facts that we put in the report are valid. We would have had Mr. Wernick sign a letter to the effect that he agreed with the facts in this report, so I must admit I'm somewhat taken aback today to find out that he has indicated that he disagrees with that.
