Environment committee  I would point to the consultation period. Draft versions of the legislation were posted for consultation on January 1, 2018. There was significant engagement through the process of developing both the legislation and related regulations with a wide range of stakeholders, includin

Environment committee  I would point explicitly to the details of how this is implemented for rural areas. I'd point explicitly to the legislation and the regulations. There are also some products that are in the public domain that certainly elaborate on that relief, so we'd be happy to share that with

Environment committee  Yes, it is.

Environment committee  With respect to the regulations for...?

Environment committee  Yes, absolutely.

Environment committee  I'm sorry, but just to clarify, you're talking just about the total amount. That's the amount that...all direct proceeds are returned, as we were referencing in the last session.

Environment committee  I can't speak to that component. That's a Finance or CRA question, but the direct proceeds from it will be returned.

Environment committee  I would just make the general point that there are different technologies that become more cost-effective at different price points. There's no singular correct or right path.

Environment committee  Colleagues at the table may want to add something as well. I think you're referring to beyond just pricing pollution. You're referring to the broader efforts and regulations that will aim to phase out coal by 2030. To speak to it from the carbon pollution pricing side, yes, th
