Agriculture committee  Yes, absolutely. More than anything, companies need policy certainty when [Technical difficulty—Editor] their investment portfolios. That requires a [Technical difficulty—Editor] on the price signal. It requires a clearly communicated [Technical difficulty—Editor] increasing pric

Isabelle Turcotte

Agriculture committee  Yes, sure thing. I'm sorry we have these issues. I'm thinking a really important message to remember is the important policy certainty for our private sector to invest in innovation and in emissions-reduction technologies, and to make them available not only to Canadian companie

Agriculture committee  Yes, we were no longer in contact. I'm sorry.

Agriculture committee  From what I have read, the dryers use biomass.

April 29th, 2021Committee meeting

Isabelle Turcotte

Agriculture committee  I would compare this to the type of protection given to our big GHG emitters under the pricing system based on performance. Every sector is given an emission intensity rate. Regardless of whether their emission rates are higher or lower than the set intensity rate, emitters are e

Isabelle Turcotte

Agriculture committee  Thank you for the question. As I stated in my presentation earlier, agriculture is not a sector that I follow closely. Nonetheless, we know of a company in Manitoba that manufactures a grain dryer that would enable farmers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. We can confir

Isabelle Turcotte

Agriculture committee  Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and members of the committee. I am Isabelle Turcotte. The Pembina Institute is a non-profit think tank, and we advocate for strong, effective policies to support the clean energy transition. We've worked a lot on carbon pricing at the national and provi

Isabelle Turcotte

Environment committee  The question was the one policy that I would use, and it's such a hard one because there are specific tools that do things really well. We have to push all levers. Although, I'm inclined to say getting off coal is paramount. If you do it successfully, it's hugely influential in t

October 23rd, 2018Committee meeting

Isabelle Turcotte

Environment committee  As I mentioned, there is a 66-megatonne gap to meeting our current target, even if we implement the full set of the PCF measures. We have to do more.

Isabelle Turcotte

Environment committee  I can't comment as I've recently joined Pembina, and I'm not aware of their past conversations on this.

October 23rd, 2018Committee meeting

Isabelle Turcotte

Environment committee  I think that answers the question. Carbon pricing does things really well, and there's an embedded price on carbon in regulations as well. It's not free, even if you regulate.

October 23rd, 2018Committee meeting

Isabelle Turcotte

Environment committee  I might highlight that in addition to the price embedded in a regulation, a regulation doesn't provide industry with the flexibility to make investments on its own terms, to increase its energy efficiency and decrease its emissions and innovate, which is something that is offered

October 23rd, 2018Committee meeting

Isabelle Turcotte

Environment committee  I would say that we'd welcome the opportunity to evaluate a climate plan that would not put forward carbon pricing, and see how, through modelling, it gets us to the same mitigation outcomes as a plan with carbon pricing would.

October 23rd, 2018Committee meeting

Isabelle Turcotte

Environment committee  I would evaluate the cost of the policy measures, as well. To my understanding, it's unlikely that this plan without carbon pricing would be less costly for Canadians than would one with carbon pricing.

October 23rd, 2018Committee meeting

Isabelle Turcotte

Environment committee  I would say in terms of exploiting its oil and gas and natural resources, Canada needs to demonstrate how it does so in a way that is consistent with meeting its own target under Paris. There's an opportunity to make sure that we evaluate projects in terms of their climate impact
