Environment committee  We looked at whether or not there was an overall report on the results of the objectives that were set. Let's give one objective. We're flying to the moon. I want to know how well we're doing getting to the moon, and you need to report back to Parliament.

Environment committee  In this case, it was reducing greenhouse gases and cleaning our air and cleaning our water. I looked for the overall report to tell us whether we were achieving those results and by how much.

Environment committee  I apologize if I took it in a different way. I was thinking about the report back to Parliament, and therefore the report back to Canadians.

Environment committee  We found that 50% of the maps that exist are over 20 years old. Public Safety Canada itself came up with an estimate that it would take five to ten years to update those maps at a cost of about $365 million.

Environment committee  Sixty-five percent of residences are flood plain mapped; 35% are not.

Environment committee  I'm going to pass this over to Andrew, and perhaps it will go over to the department.

Environment committee  I was going to add that in 2007 and 2008 the department got some funding to try to improve the cosmetic regulations. We note in our report three things that the department could have done, but in 2012 they decided not to proceed. Those three things would have been requiring manda

Environment committee  My understanding is that we did not promote any specific incentives. When we looked at these, there were three funds that would help communities mitigate against severe weather events. We found very little funding was actually applied for. There was about $253 million available,

Environment committee  Is that for me or for the department?

Environment committee  Yes. What we have in our report is what we know, so you'd really have to ask the department.

Environment committee  My suggestion, quickly, is that if you set out objectives—that we want to have more community centres, we want to fly to the moon, we want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions—you need to figure out what performance indicators you're going to have, and you wrap it up and you report

Environment committee  Are you talking about the strategic environmental assessments, and the funds? I believe that's what you're talking about.

Environment committee  It's the detailed assessments on the strategic environmental assessment?

Environment committee  I haven't had that question so I haven't studied that as hard. You may know that one of the things that I keep reporting on every year is how well each department is doing something that a cabinet directive has asked it to do, which is to do a strategic environmental assessment

Environment committee  And we do make that call as we go department by department. We've been doing that for the last three or four years, and we will continue to do that until we've finished all 26 departments.
