Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Ms. Chipot, I am very intrigued by the words you're using. You mentioned creative uncertainty. A bit like my colleague Ms. Pauzé, it made me smile. It reminded me of the exact words the commissioner of the environment and sustainable development used in his report last week. He said, “This lack of transparency meant that accountabilities for reducing emissions remained unclear. … Federal organizations … faced challenges in effective implementation” of most of these measures.
I'd like your comments on the importance of gathering statistics, data and accurate, confirmed evidence to make wise and informed decisions.
