Environment committee  For the 2013...?

Environment committee  I believe.... I'll verify. I apologize to the committee. I'm sorry. I should have these facts readily at my fingertips. I think it was about 726 million tonnes, but again, I would like to verify that, because I don't have it in front of me.

Environment committee  For every federal regulation we bring forward, we publish an impact assessment, which provides—again, based on our analytical work—a very detailed assessment of not only the emissions reductions that will be achieved by the federal measure but their costs and benefits. That's par

Environment committee  In our INDC, we quoted the number of 1.6%, which is derived from the World Resources Institute database of global GHG emissions, which is, I think, an acknowledged source for that information.

Environment committee  We do. Under our reporting in the United Nations, we publish every year estimates of emissions for all sources and all sinks. The most recent annual report was published in April.

Environment committee  Well, I would have to verify whether the inventory provides that level of detail. It is extremely detailed, though, so we probably would be able to provide you that information based on the published information in the inventory. There are complex methodologies behind these cal

Environment committee  Thank you for the question. On December 23, 2014, we published a three-year recovery document posting plan on the species-at-risk public registry. That outlined our plan to complete the overdue recovery documents. Parks Canada Agency has also published the anticipated date for d

Environment committee  Yes. In 2014-15 we posted recovery documents for 63 species, the most in any fiscal year to date. Under our plan in the current fiscal year we've committed to post recovery documents for 71 additional species. As of April 7, 2015, we have posted recovery strategies or management

Environment committee  We do an estimation of the total impact of wetlands. There are some data challenges in that area, which we're continuing to work on in order to refine those estimates going forward.

Environment committee  I would agree that there are a whole range of co-benefits that arise from wetland conservation. In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, as I understand it, that's been a challenging area methodologically. Only in recent years has the IPCC developed advice for all parties in terms o

Environment committee  We are fully committed to implementing the law and doing so in a timely and effective manner. I think one of the challenges in developing recovery documents is that we need to engage stakeholders in great detail, both as we continue to enhance our scientific understanding that su

Environment committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. There was a specific commitment in budget 2016 to renew funding for one year for Lake Erie.

Environment committee  Yes, as the minister has said, the program has been renewed for funding through 2019, and there were additional funds committed in budget 2016 in order to continue to reduce the overall inventory of federal contaminated sites.

Environment committee  I think the question may relate to budget 2012 reductions that were made across the government in order to help the government achieve its deficit reduction goals. The core monitoring programs of the Department of Environment and Climate Change were not affected.

Environment committee  Analytically, it is possible to do an analysis of downstream—
