My name is Matt Jones. I am the assistant deputy minister of the pan-Canadian framework implementation office, formerly known as the climate policy office.
Our group was involved in developing our national climate change plan, the pan-Canadian framework on clean growth and climate change. We've since pivoted to supporting its implementation. It is quite a cross-cutting collection of policies and measures that are being implemented and led by colleagues across a number of federal departments.
I think you'll hear from many of our colleagues that part of their responsibilities are associated with the issue of climate change. It is a vast and cross-cutting issue with many subcomponents, and we're all involved in various ways. Our regulatory colleagues are obviously very involved in developing GHG-based regulations. We have an international negotiation team. We have a dedicated modelling team. There's a team that is exclusively focused on the issues of adaptation—how we adapt to the impacts of climate change. We have a technical team that does our GHG inventory. We have a dedicated modelling team that does our emissions projections and our accountabilities and reporting. Lots of my colleagues here at the table and others are very much involved in climate change.
My team has been put in place to try to pull together the pieces, to have a holistic view of the issue and to be able to provide advice on the issue of climate change. I have three primary groups.
I have a policy and coordination group that pulls together climate policies and works across all of the implicated federal departments. It also works with provinces and territories, and it chairs a climate change committee with environment ministry colleagues from the provinces and territories. It also supports three existing tables with first nations, Inuit and Métis on the issue of climate change. That is the central policy and coordination group.
I also have a programs team. They implement the low-carbon economy fund, among others, one piece of the pan-Canadian framework.
And I have the Canadian centre for climate services, which is a technical organization that really pulls together climate data and makes it available to Canadians in a usable format. I'd encourage you to check out its website. You can see both historical data and projected future impacts of climate change on a map. It's climatedata.ca, which is a very useful tool for understanding the local impacts, changes that we have seen in precipitation and temperature, both in the past and also projected into the future.
Those are the three main components of my organization. I'm happy to follow up on climate topics.
