Mr. Speaker, I would like briefly to thank the minister for her kind words and for the statement that she made earlier. I would like to thank also the colleagues who have spoken before me.
On behalf of the members of the committee, namely the member for York-Simcoe, the member for Simcoe North, the member for Lincoln, the member for Lachine-Lac-Saint-Louis, the member for Thunder Bay-Atikokan, the member for Oxford, the member for Frontenac, the member for Terrebonne, the member for Kootenay East and the member for Comox-Alberni, I would like to assure the House that we are looking forward very much to completing this assignment.
We will put our efforts into completing it in the spirit that has been expressed in this House in recent minutes. We will certainly endeavour to report to the House within the time limitation indicated by the minister. We look forward to implementing this promise contained in the red book of the last election campaign.
We also look forward to the fact that in future Canada will have either an auditor general for the environment or a commissioner for the environment. We look forward very much to keeping other promises we made in the last campaign.
