No problem.
What we understand is that there aren't enough transparency, accountability or targets in the case of the net zero accelerator initiative, all of which undermines the project's credibility in citizens' minds.
Something else that can undermine credibility is the lack of ethics. As we all know, there's another fund to combat climate change, and that's sustainable development technology Canada, or SDTC, a green fund for sustainable development. We know that the Auditor General, an officer of your rank, has looked into this. I'm not talking about us, the Conservatives, but rather the Auditor General, who found that more than $390 million out of a $500 million budget wasn't ethically allocated. The board members voted and allocated the money to their own businesses. That happened in 186 cases. The Auditor General concluded that nearly four out of every five dollars hadn't been spent in accordance with ethical rules. A business must act ethically, particularly when the money comes from taxpayers. Some $500 million was involved in this case.
There's a lack of transparency with regard to the net zero accelerator initiative, which doesn't inspire people's trust. Do you think the ethical issues surrounding SDTC also undermine the trust of Canadians, who are being asked to make a financial effort to combat climate change?
