Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses.
I've heard a lot in the lead-up to this question. I will say there is a constructive narrative here. I'm not going to spend a lot of time debunking it, but it is based on a fantasy that there's enough money in the world to try and accomplish what some of the witnesses here are going to say.
I'm going to focus my questions on Ms. Dusyk and the task force for a resilient recovery.
Two years ago, the IISD, the International Institute for Sustainable Development, was involved with the task force for a resilient recovery when Parliament wasn't sitting. Fifteen members, including yours, were designing an outcome for Canada that found its way into the throne speech and then into the budget, word for word, about how Canada was going to transition, including hundreds of billions of dollars. Nobody from Parliament and nobody, ostensibly, from the Department of the Environment or the Government of Canada had any input on that whatsoever.
Can you explain how you think this is democratic input, or is it just democracy by NGO, non-governmental organizations, alone?
