Finance committee  The Province of Nova Scotia's is less than five lines.

Finance committee  It's typically done by regulation.

Finance committee  This provision provides the authority to create a federal offset system. It doesn't require the creation of a federal offset system. The government has announced that at the moment it has no plans to create a federal offset system. Nonetheless the legislation provides it with the

Finance committee  The basic question is, what happens when provincial systems diverge from the standard? Let's start with this year. This year, provinces will submit a description of their existing or proposed systems by September, and then the government will determine this fall whether those sys

Finance committee  The answer on aviation is no, because the starting point for the benchmark is British Columbia's system.

We followed up that document with two further guidance documents, which are public and on the website. I can provide those to th

Finance committee  Yes. I would respectfully correct that statement. British Columbia's carbon tax explicitly does not apply to coloured fuel used on farms. It does not apply to gasoline and diesel. It's virtually the identical exemption we've incorporated into this legislation. However, that wasn

Finance committee  We can certainly give you a list of all of the industry associations and companies and other interested parties that have participated in these consultations. They've been very extensive, so it will be a long list.

Finance committee  There is no such provision in this legislation.

Finance committee  Absolutely, yes.
