Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to continue, Commissioner, as I was cut off there. With the news coming out today from the government in terms of the 708 megatonnes of emissions reporting, I went to look at the previous 25 years history because they say it's the lowest outside COVID years.
Thanks to the Wayback Machine, we can see that the numbers, at some time during question period, changed significantly. It seems as though that is due to a shift in the methodology of a number of measurements of land use and things like that.
You have mentioned, in previous reports, that we were double-counting trees. In these reports, we're double-counting our emissions. We seem to be artificially inflating our reporting of reductions. ECCC has changed the way it has reported on previous years. It seems to have elevated those numbers and, I worry, tried to demonize the past to make decisions taken look good in the future.
Is it a normal practice when the government says, “the lowest in 25 years” to see such a shift in numbers into the past? How is that reported back into previous NIR years?
