Environment committee  Yes, there is a requirement for executive vehicles to be electric. Currently, there are 84 executive vehicles, of which only four have internal combustion engines. The rest are hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid or electric.

Environment committee  It's not zero emission, but the requirement is that it be hybrid or electric, with a priority on electric. There are 19 plug-in hybrids, four electric and, as they turn over, the requirement—

Environment committee  We buy off a standing offer of PSPC, so it's Public Services and Procurement Canada that buys them from the manufacturers.

Government Operations committee  We use international protocols on how we account for these things. Let's say we have two buildings and consolidate into one and sell off the other one. If all our operations are in that one building, it will lower our emissions.

Government Operations committee  Then we still account for that, because it's not about privatization.

Government Operations committee  Ultimately, if we lower our footprint because we're doing the same operations in a lesser footprint, that will lower our emissions. But if we change the same operation, still in two buildings, and we change the ownership or change something else, then it still—

Government Operations committee  Traditionally, where policies apply to departments and agencies, and there's a different relationship with Crown corporations since they're more market-driven, etc., we've expanded the number of departments to include all the departments within the Financial Administration Act, s

Government Operations committee  Currently, they report their departmental sustainable development strategy, because goal two is a low-carbon government, and so the DSDS, the departmental sustainable development strategy, is attached to the DPR.

Government Operations committee  There are no financial bonuses tied to it at this time. There's the management accountability framework, which is senior management. The government's management accountability framework looks at various areas of management, and departments and deputies are looked at.

Government Operations committee  In the management accountability framework, that would be a good vehicle where we're looking at embedding the greening government strategy, whether a department's delivering on the greening government strategy. That's the vehicle we're looking at, because that's management's acco
