Thank you.
The commissioner role was established in the Auditor General Act in 1995. Since that time, I would say that we have regularly presented reports to Parliament on environmental and sustainable development matters. In the early years, the reports were largely about environmental matters. Recently, we have shifted our focus to the sustainable development area, and that is in part because of the richness of the criteria that the sustainable development goals, the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, provide to us and the departments for action.
As the interim commissioner, my reports are referred automatically to the environment committee, which, I think, you're also on. But there will be topics that we will bring forward in the context of sustainable development that may be of interest to this committee as well.
We have a report coming out in May, where we are going to be looking at the transportation of dangerous goods. Obviously, that is a significant area, considering Canada's history. There have been some horrible disasters, Lac-Mégantic, for example. There have been some recent rail spills.
I would say, as we get into the sustainable development aspect, which focuses on the economy, environment and social elements together, there may be topics of interest for this committee.
