The Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, Johanne Gélinas, tabled her Annual Report in the House of Commons on September 28, 2006.
The Report contains a harsh assessment of Canada's climate change policy:
"On the whole, the government's response to climate change is not a good story. At a government-wide level, our audits revealed inadequate leadership, planning, and performance.
