Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister, you mentioned EDC in your opening statement. The government has promised to end fossil fuel financing for Crown corporations like EDC and BDC. Canada gives out the most public financing to fossil fuels in the G20, and EDC is the worst offender.
The promise was made last year to develop a plan, but so far we haven't seen any evidence that this plan is progressing. Meanwhile, EDC has already been the vehicle for $15 billion in fossil fuel financing just this year.
I appreciate that you may not be the one driving the overall policy on fossil fuel financing, but as the minister responsible for EDC and BDC, can you give an update on what work has been done specifically to advance that plan and what communication you've had with your cabinet colleagues on this issue?
