Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Environment committee My recommendation is to think about what the public accounts committee does. The public accounts committee requires that the departments provide it with an action plan. They don't have to give me an action plan; they have to give Parliament an action plan. From that action plan,

Environment committee Are you talking about the strategic environmental assessments, and the funds? I believe that's what you're talking about.
June 2nd, 2016Committee meeting
Julie Gelfand
Environment committee It's the detailed assessments on the strategic environmental assessment?
June 2nd, 2016Committee meeting
Julie Gelfand
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
June 2nd, 2016Committee meeting

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.

Environment committee The most eye-opening?

Environment committee I don't think that Canadians realize that cosmetics are not tested before they're put on the marketplace, and I don't think Canadians know that if they have a safety incident, they should call Health Canada. I had one in my twenties. Every female I talk to has had a problem with

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 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,

Julie Gelfand
Environment committee Is that for me or for the department?
June 2nd, 2016Committee meeting
Julie Gelfand
Environment committee Yes. What we have in our report is what we know, so you'd really have to ask the department.
June 2nd, 2016Committee meeting
Julie Gelfand
Environment committee I'm going to pass this over to Andrew, and perhaps it will go over to the department.
June 2nd, 2016Committee meeting
Julie Gelfand
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
June 2nd, 2016Committee meeting
Julie Gelfand
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.
June 2nd, 2016Committee meeting
Julie Gelfand
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.
