Thank you for that, Commissioner.
I am very happy that you brought up other jurisdictions. It's a good segue into the next question that I have for you.
We're looking at ways to strengthen your role as commissioner, to improve upon it. I am wondering, in the same spirit as the previous question, if there is any way that we can borrow from other jurisdictions, local or international. I'm interested in hearing more about the ways in which commissioners in other jurisdictions play their important role.
I know you're new in this role. Perhaps this question would be for you as well as for Ms. Hogan.
I find that Bill C-12, Commissioner, offers an interesting case study to look at with regard to what other countries are putting in place in terms of independent oversight and as we're seeing more countries joining the pledge to have an accountable process towards net-zero emissions by 2050. We know that in the U.K., for example, the climate change committee has an independent statutory body that has been established to keep track of the U.K. government's goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
Our government's Bill C-12, in addition to enabling the commissioner to play an oversight role, would require the minister to set up a net-zero body to provide advice on pathways to net zero.
Are there any other jurisdictions around the world that provide for this kind of oversight by having a commissioner and an expert panel to keep the government accountable, and are there any other ways you think we could strengthen that?
