Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am pleased to be here today to speak about Canada's climate leadership on the international stage. My name is Isabelle Bérard and I am the assistant deputy minister of the international affairs branch at Environment and Climate Change Canada, or ECCC. I

Environment committee  I might add on this one, as well, that we're sitting on the boards of all of these multilateral organizations, so we do have an influence on how the organizations program and deliver their business. On your second question, we'll start with Catherine from the international angle

Environment committee  Thank you very much for your question. I'm afraid I'm not the person responsible for this file. I'm very much dealing with our international partners. There are definitely people within ECCC who are looking into that question. I'm sure they would be more than happy to provide you

Environment committee  Again, on the issue of enforcement, we will have to have people who have worked on the file respond to you very specifically. The issue of climate finance and what is happening domestically are of course two separate issues—

Environment committee  Yes, it is.

Environment committee  Absolutely.

Environment committee  I was getting to the credibility issue.

Environment committee  Definitely, on the credibility issue, in Canada, in terms of climate financing, as Anar has explained, we are providing support to the most vulnerable countries on issues related to mitigation and to adaptation as well.

Environment committee  I will let Catherine speak to the issue of the rule book, because we're right in the middle of negotiating this. Catherine, I don't know to what extent you want to reinforce that.

Environment committee  Can I just add something? I know we're not supposed to brag about Canada, but I want to say something about gender equality and women.

Environment committee  Mr. Stetski suggested that we speak to other countries, but we do have a lot of experience on that front, and we are quite advanced in terms of our reflection and what we're doing in that area. We are seen as leaders on that front.

Environment committee  Do you want to take that on?

Environment committee  If I might add to what Anar has said, if companies want to go to the trade commissioner service—there's a website for this—there is a climate fund inventory database which contains more than 90 different climate funds. Companies can have access to what is being posted there by va

Environment committee  There are 16 states, but I don't know the list.
