Fisheries committee  Absolutely.

Fisheries committee  Again, it wouldn't be our office that would do the analysis. We would ask the departments whether or not they've done it, and we would get them to show us that they've actually done it.

Fisheries committee  That would be a question to ask the departments. Those are very specific questions. Again, I'm going to suggest that, based on the work that we did, it is highly likely that they did do that because they did do a very good risk assessment.

Fisheries committee  That's correct.

Fisheries committee  We'd be pleased to come and talk to you. One is being released—I get the dates a little bit mixed up—on March 27. That's the collaborative report on the climate change audits that have been done in the provinces and territories, both for reducing greenhouse gases and for adaptin

Fisheries committee  I was not aware that we were asking for pictures. It's a bit odd.

Fisheries committee  At that level of specificity, you'd have to ask the department that. We were looking to see whether or not they had looked at their entire mandate and had developed and actually planned for all the risks associated with all of that. The specifics are really at the departmental le

Fisheries committee  It's not my role to comment on policies that the government decides. My role is to look at commitments that the government makes and whether or not we're going to achieve those commitments. At this point, what we can tell you is that Environment Canada has said that even if they

Fisheries committee  That's correct. I would say that over time we've set several different targets. We have not met any of those targets. We've developed many different plans and we have not implemented those plans. Where are we at now? We have a new plan, but it's a plan, and it's one in a series o

Fisheries committee  That's a wonderful question. When I became commissioner, the Cohen commission recommendations were definitely one of the high-risk items that were brought to my attention as one of the issues that we could audit. Soon after that, the government indicated that it made a commitme

Fisheries committee  Based on the audit we did in adaptation, I suspect the answer would be yes, because they did a very good risk analysis. Again, I would ask the department, which is coming up right after us, to give you specifics on that. We are in the midst right now of auditing the department o

Fisheries committee  It's often been said that Canada emits about 2% of the world's emissions. There are many other countries that emit 2% of global emissions, and in the end they add up to 100%. There is thus a responsibility on the part of every government. They've recognized in the Paris Agreement

Fisheries committee  Right now, I believe, other than the United States, everybody is involved in the Paris Agreement, so all the countries are working to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Fisheries committee  That's correct, yes. They've all signed on to the Paris Agreement. Everybody is trying to aim to keep emissions and the global temperature rise at less than two degrees and even hoping to get to under one and a half degrees. The goal of the countries around the world is to reduce

Fisheries committee  I'm going to pass that on to David.
