Environment committee  I haven't received any directly to me, so—

Environment committee  Well, I just heard that they've completed some of it, so that's great. I was aware of some of the announcements by Minister McKenna, for example, on the consultation, but I haven't received any specific information. We did get a phone call from somebody who said that one of the

Environment committee  In our audit, we didn't actually look at the transport between provinces. We were looking at it between borders, so the U.S.-Canada border. We did find generally that both CBSA and fisheries officers were not being provided with enough training and materials to know what to look

Environment committee  That's a great question. We didn't actually look at that in particular. You have to remember that the federal government's commitment is to reduce inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, so if a fossil fuel subsidy is considered and deemed to be efficient, there's no commitment to red

Environment committee  It's probably best to ask the department.

Environment committee  In five seconds, I'll tell you that it would involve implementing the recommendations at the end of our report.

Environment committee  I'll take 10 seconds more to tell you that Fisheries and Oceans Canada needs certain information. However, at present, it has no information on the number of species that pose a threat to us, the pathways of entry and the locations of these species in Canada. The department needs

Environment committee  If you think of sustainable development, you usually think of three legs of a stool. You look at things from an economic perspective, a social one and an environmental one.

I don't remember what year it was, because I focus on the two or three audits that I'm doing at a time. However, we did do an audit on chemicals in consumer products, and that would c

Environment committee  Could I just say that the waste water regulations are fairly new? We have not audited them yet because we usually give new regulations some time to get into gear. We will probably do an audit. We did do an audit on infrastructure related to the gas tax fund. We did mention the i

Environment committee  I think it's best to ask the department that question.

Environment committee  Yes. Very quickly, in 1999 the departments didn't have action plans for toxic substances. Now they have action plans for all 138. It takes time, but they have that done. If we look at some of these specific issues, from limited information back then to now, when information they

Environment committee  Could I just start by saying that government scientists would be the best people and the people that I would trust the most. Who knows who is presenting what on the Internet, for example? However, I think Health Canada should probably answer that.

Environment committee  When they did that, they made a commitment to improve their strategic environmental assessment work. We began that in 2012. The first couple of years we didn't look at specific numbers. We looked at processes and whether they had the processes in place. Around 2015 we started to
