On climate change we have a number of chapters.
The first chapter is about things like governance, how the government is organizing itself to deliver on climate change. Climate change is what we call a horizontal issue; it touches a number of departments, and not only a number of departments but a number of jurisdictions. But at the federal level, we've looked at how the federal government is organizing itself with Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Transport Canada, Agriculture Canada, Industry Canada— all the players.
We've looked at it in the past and have said we have seen some progress. We're looking at it again, and since we looked at it last there have been new plans. In 2005 there were new climate change made-in-Canada plans. Now we're going to have a new one in the fall, likely. That's what we understand when we read the paper; we don't know for sure. We've looked at how they were implementing those plans and what kind of organization they had put in place to coordinate among themselves, because diverse players need to be involved. That's what we're going to be reporting on.
We also looked at what kind of data and analysis the government had used to come up with those targets we have to meet, the ones that were negotiated for Kyoto, and others that were made in Canada. We looked at what kind of analysis was behind them. We're going to report on that.
We looked at some instruments the government has used. For example, with the automotive sector they came up with a memorandum of understanding. We looked at how it was negotiated and what came out of it. We looked at emissions trading, a new tool the government has decided to use in its tool box to deal with climate change. We wanted to see how prepared they were to implement an emissions trading scheme of some sort. You're going to read about that in our chapter one.
We also looked in other chapters at the impact of climate change and what the government is doing to help Canadians adapt to the reality of climate change. That's another chapter, chapter two.
We looked in chapter three at programs at NRCan that my colleague just talked about. We also looked at sustainable government strategy commitments related to climate change, and other aspects as well. And we've looked at an environmental petition related to climate change, a program to buy green energy in the federal government that is led by three departments: NRCan, Environment Canada, and Public Works. We're going to report on that as well, as part of the commissioner's report on climate change.
