Environment committee  For the Center for Clean Air Policy, I'm always interested in the concept of buying carbon offsets. I'm just wondering if you've seen any examples. Perhaps I can ask the Canadian Council on Renewable Electricity about that as well. Have you thought of working examples of buying carbon offsets that made a difference for clean air?

Environment committee  Thank you. Going back to my earlier request, if you could send any papers to the committee that you think are particularly good on the practical switch from fossil fuels to green energy, that would be great. The challenge is that it should be 10 pages or under, so no Ph.D. dissertations, please.

Environment committee  Please do pass on our thanks and appreciation to all the great farmers you represent. Isabelle.

Environment committee  Thank you.

Environment committee  Tyler, I'll ask you the same question. What does that look like from an agricultural perspective, when you hear “moving away from fossil fuels”?

Environment committee  I'll hold it there.

Environment committee  This is my last question, then. Maybe I won't need my extra three if we can make it really quick, but if we run out of time, we'll go over to the three minutes. If I were to wave a magic wand and each of you were the Minister of Environment tomorrow and were told you could implement only one aspect of this need for a multi-level plan, what would your priority be?

Environment committee  Thank you. I want to go back a bit to transitioning from fossil fuel to a green energy economy. I will ask if you have some really good papers or research on practical ways to do this transition. If you could send them to the committee, that would be appreciated. I'd like to hear from you on that because we hear about that all the time.

Environment committee  Pembina Institute...the same question.

Environment committee  I'm seeing the ads for the new electric Jaguar. If I had the money, that would be a sweet vehicle to have for sure. On agriculture, Tyler, I thought a lot of your recommendations were very practical. You have a bit of a concern. You said that Canada's biotechnology should be part of trade agreements but there's push-back from other countries.

Environment committee  Thank you. Thank you all for being here today. My first question will be for Keith and Greenpeace. On April 3 of this year, Clean Energy Canada released a report called “The Economic Impact of Improved Energy Efficiency in Canada”, and it was very encouraging. According to some of the information they presented: [I]mplementing the energy efficiency actions in the PCF [the pan-Canadian framework on clean growth and climate change] will add 118,000 jobs (average annual full-time equivalent) to the Canadian economy, and increase GDP by 1% over the baseline forecast, over the study period (2017-2030)....

Environment committee  What can the federal government do to encourage that, in your mind?

Environment committee  I'll turn to the Pembina Institute for just a minute. One of the things you mentioned was the transition to zero-emission vehicles, and again, I have the same question. What would support from the federal government look like, in your mind, to help get to zero-emission vehicles?

Environment committee  Just to be clear on what happened at the last meeting, I certainly put forward the suggestion that we should get enforcement people here before the committee as part of the existing study. What was problematic was getting Volkswagen to come to the table. That's what was not supported.

Environment committee  I think we need a sense of confidence that our enforcement people are enforcing laws, which is why I would very much support having them come before the committee.
