Ms Marie Donnelly:

We have called for an explicit revision of the legal mandates of public bodies to take account of the climate Act. It is not sufficient to say that the Act is there and it is to the side. If we have a mandate that established, for example, a public utility or other public body, and it does not expressly say it, the board may not feel it has to take it into account fully. Yes, we have called for that, and we strongly believe it is a fundamental thing that needs to be done as soon as possible.

On the response to the recommendations, we do an analysis every year of the recommendations we have made and what has or has not happened, as the case may be. Some of our recommendations have been taken up and implemented, but not all of them. Again, I am being diplomatic.
