位於多倫多的環保法律組織「山巒法律防護基金會」指稱，針對加拿大政府執行環境法所進行的兩項國際調查結果尚未正式公佈，而主要的原因在於結果一旦公開，加拿大政府的處境將會相當尷尬。提告並要求展開調查的環保團體目前已委任該組織做為代理人。
此次調查工作是由加拿大、美國和墨西哥所成立的NAFTA下設環境合作委員會來進行。調查重點放在安大略森林中成千上萬遭到破壞的候鳥巢，以及加拿大造紙業所產生的有毒排放物。
環境合作委員會的調查結果公佈與否，是由加拿大、美國和墨西哥三國的環境部長共同決定，但「山巒法律」律師柯爾認為，是加拿大政府在試圖隱瞞調查的結果，他也表示，在是否公佈這項資訊的決策上，加拿大政府實際上處於主導的地位。
The findings of two international investigations into Canada's enforcement of its own environmental laws have not been made public because they would be embarrassing for the Canadian government, according to Sierra Legal, an environmental law firm based in Toronto. The firm represents environmental groups that submitted complaints triggering the investigations.
The investigations were conducted by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, CEC, the environmental agency established under the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico. They focused on the destruction of tens of thousands of migratory bird nests in Ontario's forests and the discharge of toxic effluent from Canadian pulp and paper mills.
The decision on whether to release CEC investigations is made jointly by the environment ministers of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, but Koehl claims it is the Canadian government that is "hiding" the results of these investigations. In practice, he says, Canada is the lead party in decisions relating to the release of this information.
