Proposed new environment watch-dog

The idea was proposed by a government-appointed panel, as the province tries to rehabilitate environmental monitoring, especially in the oil sands.
It would report to the environment minister and be responsible for compiling its own research and reports.

It would be funded through tax revenues and industry levies.
