Thank you for your question, Mr. Fergus.
Based on our knowledge of our access to information services, this note was prepared during the transition period. You know, Canadians need to know that when there is an election, the federal public service prepares a series of analyses and studies on various current issues. Of course, given the content of the various electoral platforms, climate change and carbon pricing was one of those issues that was examined, studied by various departments in Ottawa, including the Department of Finance. As a result, these notes that are prepared for the public service and future decision-makers do not reflect the policy decisions and actions that are subsequently adopted by the government. It is only transitional material.
With respect to the review that has been requested and is under way, the Department of Finance will be working with the Office of the Information Commissioner, and we will be involved in every step of this review. I am not in a position to tell you more about it. It is a process that will follow its course.
