I'd like to thank the member for her question, Mr. Chair.
With regard to the large emitters, as the report indicated, in the early initial days of the NZA, ISED encountered challenges attracting large emitters. To address the challenge, ISED launched a call to action in March 2022. It was closed on June 30, 2022. Of Canada's 55 identified large emitters, 16 applied through the CTA. In addition, ISED received another 23 applications from other companies.
To date, funding has been provided through two large emitter projects to support production processes in steel. These projects have a combined six megatonnes of direct on-site facility reductions. The full application for another seven projects is under way, and two have completed the due diligence process. Moving forward, ISED is committed to continue to work with industry to identify opportunities to address barriers for large emitters to advance on these projects. We continue to engage with industry, and we'll continue to engage moving forward.
