Thank you very much.
Thank you for being here, Minister.
I, too, would like to offer congratulations on our auto strategy. Not only do I think it's a really wonderful path forward, but I also think it's another example of the way our government is trying to really consider environment and climate issues and address the crisis across all of the major work we're doing across all of the departments. I've heard you say before that when the environment and climate become part of the thinking across all departments and all ministers, this is how we actually get things done.
I saw first-hand, and drove first-hand, that very thing in Halifax when I was working as the director of environment and climate change for the city. The way we saw progress, buy-in and momentum really involved all departments and just making it a necessary consideration across all major work.
I give you huge congratulations on that.
I will ask my first question in French.
Clauses 595 and 596 would make it easier for provinces, territories and indigenous governments to manage regulations without those regulations having to be completely identical to those in CEPA.
What are the benefits of co-operative federalism, where the federal government gives more decision-making power to the various levels of government?
