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.

Environment committee   the best of Environment and Climate Change Canada but also the muscle, as you say, of one or more of the central agencies. That's fundamentally important going forward.

Environment committee   and Climate Change to develop and maintain systems and procedures to monitor progress on implementation. You have responsibility within the minister's office. You have responsibility within the Privy Council Office. If we've already housed primary responsibility within the PCO, why are we

Environment committee  I said earlier that the committee that's referenced in section 6, in effect, would be the cabinet committee on environment, climate change, and energy.

Environment committee   not often met with the results. We had a meeting organized by a colleague last night looking at Canada's climate change commitments. Even with all the efforts of the provinces and the efforts of the federal government, and even with our current target—which is insufficient

Environment committee   communities take up that and say, okay, this is about the community that we want in our local area, and shape that for their future, understanding the priorities, the issues of climate change, and the need for jobs for young people, but really for communities to take greater ownership

Environment committee   through the sustainability lens. That seems to me, just in terms of a broader impact on something like climate change, to be a much larger fish to go after. Am I conflating two different ideas around sustainability? I would hate to simply have an internal government approach
