When you determine the subject of an audit, you do it on the basis of risk. So we try to target those departments that are most closely involved. We try to target also a number of areas to ensure that we really focus on those substances that pose the greatest risk. Very seldom, at least in my experience as a commissioner over six years, does an environmental issue involve only the Department of Environment. For example, enforcing the Canadian Environmental Protection Act is a shared responsibility between Environment Canada and Health Canada.
As far as we are concerned, as Mr. Reed mentioned, we did not audit the implementation of the full legislation, we audited the management of toxic substances. There are many aspects, among others the whole issue of pesticides, which involve one other federal agency.
Mr. Reed could tell you which departments were targeted and why.
