Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'll be quick.
In terms of the comments just made by the deputy minister on being ambitious in the plans that they've set out to do, it's important, I believe, especially given the report by the commissioner of the environment, that we actually make sure we transition ambitions into action. That is the concern of parliamentarians, and that is the concern of Canadians.
That is what we heard in the remarks of the commissioner. It was the issue of trust in ensuring that we can actually build the public capacity and the public trust that are necessary to achieve those goals. We heard that from the commissioner this morning in terms of the concept of trust.
For the deputy minister, how do we intend to actually ensure that we build trust for Canadians and ensure that we hit the targets that are set out by the government, when we know that the data that's collected in terms of the modelling to this point is insufficient in the way that it presents information and in some ways can be seen as misleading? I think that is the important part of the report that was published by the commissioner, as it distinguishes between facts and assumptions.
In relation to the assumptions—those things that are necessary to hit the targets here in Canada and that may not actually be invested in—how do we actually close that gap? What do you do, directly as the deputy minister, to actually achieve the construction of the good policy that you call part of the evergreen strategy? How do you actually build the things that are needed in Canada—like a green energy grid—into the actual work of your department? How do we actually get to a point where we see those results in a transparent way?
