Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and, of course, all of us miss that you're not here with us today.
I want to thank all the witnesses for being present with us again. I know the last meeting.... It's tough when we have the testimony and then have a bit of a break, but we've now returned to this. I want to thank everyone here for their time.
I want to thank the commissioner for his report.
This is a pretty large issue for Canadians, particularly in relation to the pandemic. The pandemic has certainly changed how the government and regular Canadians look at their own emissions. We've seen across the country and the world a global reduction in greenhouse gases because of the pandemic and reduced activities.
I think it was Mr. Matthews who mentioned that the percentage was calculated into the 40.6% reduction.
Can you explain the methodology and how you calculated that 7% of emissions, beyond the pandemic reductions?
