Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm sorry to see you're not in your usual spot.
My sincerest thanks to the many witnesses who are with us today.
My thanks to the commissioner for releasing this report, which casts serious doubt on the government's desire to meet its targets and make sure it has the tools to do so. Is the government setting itself up for success when it comes to meeting its own targets for reducing its contribution to global climate change?
A number of sections in the report suggest that the drop in greenhouse gas emissions, or GHGs, reported was attributable to the pandemic, as you pointed out in your answer to the member's question. Two things are missing right now to show that the government has the tools and the ability to meet its targets: meaningful answers and equally meaningful actions.
I have a lot of questions for the commissioner about his report, but first, I'd like him to quickly go over the main challenges he identified in his report. Then, I'll ask my questions.
