Environment committee  I'm afraid I don't have any information for the committee on this point. We'll have to discuss with our colleagues and get back to the committee.

Environment committee  We'll do our best.

Environment committee  Yes, thank you. The commitment to set emission caps, I think, is separate from the commitment on inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. There are a number of commitments that relate to the oil and gas sector in the ERP. Emission caps is one; methane is another, the clean fuel standard, etc.

Environment committee  If I could, I'll point to consultations that are ongoing in the context of significant new initiatives that the government has announced, for example, the oil and gas emissions cap—

Environment committee  As I said earlier, most of the work that has happened so far in meeting the G20 commitment has happened on the tax side. My colleague Mr. Jovanovic could talk about what the consultation process is on the tax side. There have been oil sands subsidies, etc., that have been eliminated on the tax side.

Environment committee  In the context of the work that is ongoing right now to identify inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, I'll note that EDC is not scoped in to that work because what they do does not meet the definition of a subsidy. However, we would anticipate looking at EDC in the context of the public financing commitment, which is still at the planning stage.

Environment committee  We'd anticipate that EDC would be part of this public financing commitment that's still at the planning phase. As for the—

Environment committee  I can't tell you that, because it's at a very early planning stage.

Environment committee  That work is still at the planning stage. We are all working together on it, as per the mandate letters. I will note that work that flows from the Glasgow commitment that Ms. Vrany spoke about is a component of that, but we haven't moved beyond to fully scope it at this point in time.

Environment committee  No, because it's still at the planning phase.

Environment committee  The timeline as it's known today is attached to the work that Ms. Vrany is doing coming out of the Glasgow commitment.

Environment committee  Ms. Vrany, I'm wondering if that's a question for you. I'm not sure I understand it completely. I think it's about tracking emissions—scope 1, 2 and 3.

Environment committee  I think the question of the creation of new programs potentially is a very important one, and I can tell you that, as part of our work to identify inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, we are looking at ways to future-proof, if you like, any new programs that are being created or any grants and contributions that come out of any existing programs.

Environment committee  We're on a timeline to be able to provide advice to the government so that it can make decisions in time to have the phase-out of the non-tax inefficient fossil fuel subsidies done in 2023, as per their mandate commitments.

Environment committee  That's unclear at this time, because the work is still under way.
