In my opinion, the Department of Environment and Climate Change should be responsible for monitoring the funds to make sure they are contributing to achieving the right objectives. Now I want to talk about funds at the international

Environment committee  I will make a first attempt and then pass it to my colleague, Paul Halucha, our associate deputy minister. I would say that this very active area of climate change policy related to transportation and ZEVs, in particular, is a collaborative effort among a number of federal

Environment committee   are in the process of reducing those emissions by 30 million tonnes, which is equivalent roughly to Quebec as a whole. That's 80 million tonnes per year.
