Environment committee  Yes. There are some sites near the Lachine Canal in particular. I believe there are two sites in the Old Port of Montreal and another one on île Bouchard, by the Island of Montreal. There are 15 class 1 sites with contaminants. That is why they are now considered contaminated sit

Environment committee  Yes. I am going to let my colleague Mr. Sloan answer your question.

Environment committee  It was not.

Environment committee  That's correct. There's a lag between the year and when Environment Canada compiles all the data and releases it. It would be similar to Stats Canada and the Bank of Canada. There's a lag between when it happens and when—

Environment committee  Are you referring to Chapter 1 of the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act?

Environment committee  They have to be when the regulations are published. Yes, you're quite right.

Environment committee  No, because by then we have cleared all the report from Environment Canada. It was the most recent data up until, say, the end of March 2012.

Environment committee  Yes, with pleasure. I'm just going to say that we've been very clear that Environment Canada has done a better job consistently, year after year, in each of the annual climate change reports. The reports are more robust. They're more detailed. They're more transparent. They're m

Environment committee  Thank you for the question. I'll ask my colleague, Kimberley Leach, to answer it.

Environment committee  If I may...? Thank you. I'll just say two things. We've included the most recent emission trends data, notwithstanding the report that was released in early April on the emissions trends—
