Environment committee  All those projects would have to...?

Environment committee  We didn't look into that in our audit. We looked at the implementation of the new Environmental Assessment Act.

Environment committee  All I can tell you is we didn't look into that. I am assuming those would need provincial licences to operate. Is that what you're talking about?

Environment committee  What we looked at, Mr. Sopuck, is the commitment that Canada made to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from the levels of 2005. The government committed to reducing them by 17% by the year 2020. We looked at whether or not the sector-by-sector regulatory approach and coordinati

Environment committee  I understand. As an auditor, I look at what the government said it was going to do, look at how the government said it was going to do it, and determine whether or not the government is meeting its own objectives.

Environment committee  Well, we looked at the issue of dredging, for example, which won't be part of it. There a few other examples, such as major chemical plants. There are some industrial mineral mines that would likely not be included. Bruce may have others.

Environment committee  I am very confident about that. The issues of renewables and the transportation regulations are all detailed in our report. They're all in there.

Environment committee  In fact, we're handing over the money and Environment Canada is tracking.

Environment committee  There are two main points on the fast-track financing. One is that you're correct: the Government of Canada did fulfill its commitment. The money has been taken out of the government's coffers and put into multilateral banks. We recognize, however, that about 73% of it still ha

Environment committee  That's correct, and they are tracking.

Environment committee  That's correct. The joint plan is the first step in a longer-term monitoring program that both Canada and Alberta have talked about.

Environment committee  We audited the beginning, the first three years, and how well they're doing in implementing what they said they wanted to do.

Environment committee  That's correct. We audited the implementation of the joint plan.
