Environment committee  They're not precisely the same, but I think they have the same effect. G-8 would add, among other things, new paragraph 10(1)(f): projections of the annual greenhouse gas emission reductions resulting from those combined measures and strategies, including projections for eac

Environment committee  I have two points. First, yes, the minister could do this. Second, of course we'll get to these provisions, but clauses 25 and 26 are relevant to this discussion. Clause 25 requires that the methodology used to report on emissions must be consistent with the methodology we use

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, I can provide that answer now.

Environment committee  The UNFCCC guidance that we follow requires us to report against the major sources. Those sources are heavy industry, buildings, agriculture, oil and gas, transport, electricity, waste and others. Canada also does further disaggregate those by province and territory—in other word

Environment committee  Yes. That's the goal. That's correct.

Environment committee  It's precisely the same information, but it's associated with each plan, so you would get it on specific timelines as prescribed in the bill.

Environment committee  That's correct.

Environment committee  Yes, and again, this is the minimum that must be included in each plan.

Environment committee  The short answer is no. The longer answer is that this is what has to be in it. It must contain a summary of key co-operative measures or agreements. It may contain—sorry, I have a dog interfering with the action here—descriptions of measures, initiatives and policies being under

Environment committee  That's correct.

Environment committee  I'm sure there is, but I'd like to be precise. I'll need a few seconds to gather that information. We do provide, in the NIR reporting, based on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change guidelines that provide guidance on how countries should disaggregate their

Environment committee  The amendment would require that the plan contain certain elements. These elements could have been included in each plan. This simply provides more prescription to ensure that each plan includes each of these elements.

Environment committee  Yes. It's more prescriptive to ensure that the government of the day preparing the plan includes each of these elements so Canadians can be confident that each plan will at a minimum contain each of these elements.

Environment committee  I don't think it's accurate to suggest that the minister is given any different powers associated with establishing this objective from the establishment of the milestone-year targets or the plans. The obligation rests on the minister, but that obligation has to be discharged via

Environment committee  That's correct. Clause 8 does not apply. As we've already discussed, both the preamble and the purpose provision in the act refer to urgent action “in support of achieving net-zero emissions” and complying with “Canada's international commitments”, but you're right. I think that
