Answer

I intend to regularly monitor the performance of the Ministry for Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport (MCERT) in relation to all of its strategic objectives once they are developed. MCERT will also continue to produce statutory reporting on different aspects of our environment (such as the recently released Our Freshwater 2026).
