Environment committee   an electric vehicle. We have an electric vehicle charging station at Environment and Climate Change Canada, but we should have that across the board. Our fleet should be electric vehicles. We absolutely do need to be leading by example. On a personal note, I'm a huge cyclist. It just

Environment committee   to be doing today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we have a briefing by the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change on her mandate letter. Pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), we have the main estimates 2016-17: vote 1 under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency; votes 1, 5

Environment committee  I think we've been having the climate change discussion.

Environment committee  I think the point is that we're trying to get this done and we think this may be a fundamental piece. Please don't say that we don't care about climate change because I think all of us around this table care very much.

Environment committee   Environmental Protection Act. We consider the report that comes back to us on May 31, we have the spring report from the commissioner on June 2, and the climate change study begins on the 21st and 23rd. That's what I'm suggesting. June 16 was the draft report of the federally protected

Environment committee  I'm actually eliminating one of the meetings at the first end of the CEPA, but I'm taking some of the days from the climate change study and moving it to CEPA.

Environment committee  Let's move climate change to the fall.

Environment committee  Once again, I hear where you're coming from. There's no hurry, but I would counter the same.... The minister is meeting with her provincial counterparts to discuss the climate change initiatives. Really, what are we going to add to that discussion with two meetings in June

Environment committee   that we needed five. I think we're really limiting our time on the federally protected areas. I'm seeing the time for areas shrink. We did agree that we would have that concurrently with CEPA, and that it would come ahead of the climate change discussion. I'm getting worried because

Environment committee  It's the commissioner coming in front of the committee to open for discussion what she's bringing forward in her reports. I didn't want to have that go. Then it's really up to the committee. We've now lost one day for CEPA, so what are we doing with this climate change study

Environment committee   at the subcommittee that we will move on to the fourth subject matter, which is a climate change study on June 7, 9, and 14. Then we go back to the federally protected areas to try to do a draft, the consideration of—no, sorry, my fault. We were going to do drafting instructions

Environment committee  Madam Chair, my apologies, could I just ask a question? Was the climate change study—June 7, 9, and 14—on our original work plan passed by this committee, or was it just the subcommittee that looked at that?

Environment committee   strategy, which has now turned into the strategy and act. We would do that third. It has bumped up, clearly. Then after those are done, we would move on to climate change. That's the way the motion was approved unanimously. Obviously, we have not completely followed that.
