Mr. Barry Fox:
No, we did not. As I said at the environmental committee, we are successful in about 75% of our detections. The nature of water pollution is that it can be discharged into a water body days before anybody becomes aware of it. If it is not being discharged when our officers attend on site, under the legislation, we cannot bring forward a prosecution.
