The commissioner of the environment and sustainable development is a senior member of my executive team. I'm required to appoint him. I appointed him for a period of seven years. Jerry DeMarco started in 2021. He is Assistant Auditor General within my office and helps support me in carrying out my mandate, but with a focus on environmental and sustainable development aspects. He also has certain legislative requirements in other acts, in addition to the work he has to do to support me under the Auditor General Act.
