Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Well, 103.02(4) and 103.05(2), the setting of national sectoral and individual carbon budgets, neither of those actually uses the word “regulation”. They require the minister to set those. Again, the status of that, in terms of whether that's a regulatory authority, an order, wha

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I don't think we've taken a position on exactly how that should work. I'm just, at the moment, trying to point out a consistency issue. I don't want to get put into the position of looking as though I support a basic model, which is a fundamental political choice, as opposed to s

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  My understanding of the two additional clauses that have been added are that proposed subsection 103.05(2), which is the authority regarding the setting of sectoral carbon budgets for LIEs, and proposed paragraph 103.07(2)(b), which is about the air emissions standards.... Both o

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  The last one to which I referred was proposed subsection 103.02(5), which is the authority to regulate the way in which individual carbon deficits would be set.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Mr. Chair, for the sake of clarity, if you go back to the Bill C-30 provision, clause 34 starts out by saying, “A regulation made under”. The authorities that were introduced in some of the Liberal and NDP amendments, to which we just referred, some of them refer to regulations

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  The authority to conduct research under CEPA into environmental emergencies is extremely broad and already applies to all the LFEs or large industrial emitters. What this does is act as a notwithstanding clause. It's saying that despite what you've done under these other provisio

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I would make the same comment again. I don't see the connection to the carbon budget. I see a direct connection to the authority under proposed paragraph 103.07(2)(b), which refers to establishing air emission standards, but here we're talking about researching causes and remedia

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Well, as I heard the amendment it would refer to regulations made under subsection 93(1), which is the authority to regulate toxic substances, including air pollutants and GHGs; 103.05(2), which is the authority to establish a carbon budget; and 103.07(2)(b), which is the require

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Subsection103.07(6) was the other addition from Mr. McGuinty, and that refers to air emissions standards. That makes sense to me.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I appreciate all the members' support for this. This actually goes in the regulatory authority. So it's not authority for the minister to report; it's authority for the minister to require people, subject to regulations, to report. We believe it's very important. I would reques

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I actually think “and the air” is redundant.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  We have no resources to do this at the moment and we have no experience doing this work so far.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  The specific question is whether this creates a new list.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  It absolutely does create a new list of substances or a new class of substances. It gives the minister authority over a number of substances that have not been identified, have not been categorized as a result of the section 73 categorization, will not be subject to a section 74
