Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would now like to look at the issue through the lens of sustainable development. We know that all these food‑related issues have an enormous impact on the environment, with respect to production, processing, transportation, logistics, distribution and waste management.
The report by the Office of the Auditor General of Canada states the following:
Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the regional development agencies considered the alignment of the Canadian Seafood Stabilization Fund with some sustainable development commitments. However, we found that they developed no performance indicators to measure the program’s contribution to those commitments.
My question is simple and is directed to the representatives of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the regional development agencies.
Do you plan to establish a performance indicator to measure the program's contribution to sustainable development commitments?
