Madam Chair, at first blush, my amendment may look to be virtually identical to the one you just defeated, but it does include other concepts, which is, of course, why it would have merely been a line conflict had the NDP motion passed.
My proposed subparagraph (e) for the mandate of a CER includes to advise and report not only on energy matters, including renewable energy and energy efficiency, but also on how we're doing in reducing carbon, and what the climate impacts are related to production, distribution, and use of energy and the impacts of a changing climate on the very industry that is being regulated.
This takes, in my view, the Canadian energy regulator into a mandate that's much more similar to what we get from the International Energy Agency. That agency provides useful information for world governments on the topics that you see here. I think it would really strengthen the Canadian energy regulator were it doing the same kind of analytical work that we get from the International Energy Agency.
