Environment committee If regulations are being discussed, and they're not in a state to be published or out for consultation, we don't tend to have a very precise number for them. Obviously, we think about what the impacts might be, because that's an important piece, but we don't have numbers on those

Chris Forbes
Environment committee No, I don't think so, because those would be issues that are under discussion. They're either not fully developed or, if they were further developed, they would be issues that would be under discussion for cabinet consideration.
October 8th, 2014Committee meeting
Chris Forbes
Environment committee Well, I either don't have it or I'm not able to. I'm not sure it has to do with my willingness.
October 8th, 2014Committee meeting
Chris Forbes
Environment committee I may have misspoken. If I did, I apologize. What the commissioner uses is indeed our forecast in the charts Mr. McKay was referring to. What I was differing on was how those forecasts were being interpreted, what—
October 8th, 2014Committee meeting
Chris Forbes
Environment committee There may be other forecasts, but I think what you'd find is that we have forecasts that are generally fairly widely accepted and thought of as fairly sound by people who follow these things.

Environment committee No, and I—
October 8th, 2014Committee meeting
Chris Forbes
Environment committee What I would say in answer to that—maybe I should have answered it differently—is it depends on what actions one takes, what the implications, the impacts, will be. Again, for a provincial action that may or may not happen. I could not be in the position now of estimating what th
October 8th, 2014Committee meeting
Chris Forbes
Environment committee A lot of the things we're doing now we think are good practices. We've discussed some of them already in some of our responses in terms of how we engage with the provinces, the kinds of publications we put out, whether it be emissions trends or whether it be our reporting to the

Environment committee That's a lot of questions in one. I guess—

Environment committee Touché.
October 8th, 2014Committee meeting
Chris Forbes
Environment committee It's getting a bit.... It's moving too fast for me right now. Just in response to one of those points, and Mike earlier mentioned it, this is about regulatory proposals and discussions. I'm not sure about all the discussions that have gone on with the oil and gas sector, but the

Chris Forbes
Environment committee I'm aware of that, yes.

Chris Forbes
Environment committee Again, I guess what I would say—
October 8th, 2014Committee meeting
Chris Forbes
Environment committee Well, I'd go back to the projections, and what I would say about those projections is that they tell you the difference between where we would be with all of the measures that have been announced in place, versus the target. That doesn't tell you that you're going to miss. It t
October 8th, 2014Committee meeting
Chris Forbes
Environment committee I would have to respectfully say that I think it tells you what the cumulative effect of the things you would need to do to meet that target would be. Whether we get those done or not will depend on actions at a number of levels of government—actions of individuals, businesses—an
