Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to Ms. Bedard-Haughn and Ms. Tothova for being here.
Your testimony was very interesting and very insightful. It really highlights the complexity of reducing carbon emissions and measuring that, especially in the context of global trade.
My colleague across the way has just talked about how difficult it is to really estimate the amount of net emissions. We know hard things are hard, and that's why we have brilliant people like yourselves both looking at this because it's something we need to do.
You mentioned that Canada needs to take a leadership role in this. Do you feel that undertaking a study such as this and starting to look at it now, in advance of the imposition of CBAMs by our trading partners, is important? If so, why?
Perhaps we can start with you, Ms. Bedard-Haughn.
