Report 5: Environmental Petitions Annual Report and Retrospective

'This report is in two parts. The first part looks back on environmental petitions submitted to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development since 2007. It includes results from our 2017 survey of petitioners as well as government departments and agencies. The second part is the Commissioner’s annual report on petitions. As required by the Auditor General Act, the annual report informs Parliament and Canadians about the petitions activity that took place over the past year—that is, the 12-month period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017.'--Focus of the report, p. 2.
