The Integrity Gap: Canada's Environmental Policy and Institutions, Eugene Lee and Anthony Perl, eds., Vancouver: UBC Press, 2003, pp. xi, 288. This collection, which grew out of papers presented at a conference at the Sookyung Centre for Canadian Studies in Seoul in 1999, is one of a number of recent publications to call attention to a peculiar feature of Canadian environmental policy. In spite of our much publicized commitment to greenery at home and our hectoring criticism of other countries' environmental policies abroad, our own record, when closely examined, proves to be lamentable and is actually getting worse in comparison with our counterparts in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This yawning gulf between promise and performance is the “integrity gap” of Lee and Perl's title
