Environment committee  Absolutely. If you go to page 9 of our report you'll see the whole list of those that are no longer in existence, including ones that were done under the Conservative government. There's still one that remains and that's the one on flow-through shares for exploration and developm

Environment committee  Without actually having access to the information that the Department of Finance has, the analysis is really difficult for me to tell you that. That would be a great question to ask the Department of Finance.

Environment committee  Unfortunately, my mandate only pertains to the federal government. I cannot answer that question. It would have to go to the provincial legislatures.

Environment committee  All I can audit is the federal government's role in that.

Environment committee  You know what, I really can't tell you that. The Department of Finance might be able to tell you that, but I can't tell you that.

Environment committee  At this point all I looked at is what I'm allowed to look at, which is the federal government. I can't access that information, other than what's in the public domain. My audit is an audit of the federal government achieving its commitment.

Environment committee  I'm not struggling with the definition. Each government is supposed to define it in their own context. There's a G20 definition that talks about inefficient subsidies as being things that reduce energy security, waste fossil fuels, and that kind of thing. There is already a G20 d

Environment committee  Right now we're using the G20 one. We've asked the government for their definition, and they have not provided us one yet.

Environment committee  We made a recommendation that they do exactly that.

Environment committee  And it's hard for them to do a complete analysis that meets our criteria, if we don't even have a definition. They don't have a definition.

Environment committee  Environment and Climate Change Canada has a plan to go to all the different ministries to find out all the non-tax measures. We should soon have a compilation of them. We could audit that information and provide you with the results.

Environment committee  Right. What we have is the information from the Department of Finance. We don't actually have the analysis that proves that they looked at the environmental, social, and economic aspects, because they refuse to provide us with that information.

Environment committee  The department hasn't provided us with the information. That is correct.

Environment committee  The department has done the analysis. They told us they cannot provide it to us because, they claim, it was a cabinet confidence. There's a new order in council, which apparently will provide us with that information. We wrote a letter to them on Friday asking them for that infor

Environment committee  I can't comment.
