Environment committee  Sorry; I didn't hear the very last bit.

Environment committee  We were doing a follow-up on whether or not we were going to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve the targets that the government had set. We were looking at the 2020 target and then the 2030 target. The government has set a 2020 target and a 2030 target, and our audit obj

Environment committee  It will definitely need to be made available to us when we ask for it. I don't know if we have a position on whether or not analyses of government are supposed to be made available to the public or not, so I can't answer that specific question. I can say that we've had difficulty

Environment committee  In our audit, we did acknowledge that Environment and Climate Change Canada worked quite collaboratively with the provinces and territories in establishing the Vancouver declaration as well as the pan-Canadian framework.

Environment committee  We're going to head off. Thank you very much. Have a great summer.

Environment committee  No, no. We made many requests during the time of our audit, for an entire year or more. It refused.

Environment committee  Thank you so much.

Environment committee  That's a great question to ask of the department. I don't know.

Environment committee  That's a great question to ask the department.

Environment committee  I'm an independent agent of Parliament and it's up to me to decide which audits to do when. I am hearing from this committee that this is a very important issue. I will go back into my planning exercise and see whether or not or when I can. I don't actually....
