Environment committee  Absolutely. They co-host this ministerial on climate action with us, as an example.

Environment committee  There are number of fora, as I was mentioning earlier, where Canada gets together with other countries, with subnationals and with businesses and other groups to talk about carbon markets and about our experience on carbon pricing. I'll highlight one called the Carbon Pricing Le

Environment committee  I can speak to the Paris rule book, and what we're doing under the Paris rule book. I would defer to my domestic colleague to talk about our targets and what we're doing domestically.

Environment committee  The reporting that we do and provide to the UNFCCC is prepared by Matt Jones and his group. We work on that together; we provide input into that. I will let him speak to it.

Environment committee  I want to flag something very briefly.

Environment committee  This is to flag for you something called the Talanoa dialogue, which the Fijian presidency of COP last year introduced. This has been a year-long process whereby countries, non-parties, actors, or anybody can come forward and share experiences on what they're doing on climate ac

Environment committee  Yes, and I would like to be able to respond to that, because a lot of the negotiations that we are undergoing right now are all about accountability, transparency and reporting on our plans and actions and intentions on how we're going to address GHG emissions—

Environment committee  We already do produce what's called the “National Communication” in a biennial report. The last one was submitted to the UNFCCC in January 2018. That outlines very clearly how Canada is working to meet its targets.

Environment committee  What we're trying to do under Paris—

Environment committee  —is to ensure that all other parties are doing the same thing. Canada has a reputation for being very open and transparent in our reporting, and very detailed. I think that under the Paris Agreement what we want to ensure is that other parties are doing the same thing so we can t

Environment committee  Thanks. From an international perspective, what we're doing in Canada on carbon pricing is of great interest internationally. We are part of a lot of different carbon market forums where we are asked to come and speak and talk about the Canadian experience, but there are also
