Environment committee  Our mandate is to look at the measures in the plan. We looked at the modelling that was done for the measures. The backcasting is done to set a point in the future, in 2030, and then to look at pathways that might be possible to achieve that. Both are important aspects, but the 3

Environment committee  In the emissions reduction plan, the government talks about how it took a hybrid approach in modelling. It used backcasting, which is where the 31% number is from.

Natural Resources committee  Yes. Thanks very much for the question. The difference between achieving the 2021 target and not achieving the 2022 target was the lack of agreements with the provinces. Provinces are the group that will plant the most trees. Almost 70% of the trees that are to be planted throu

Environment committee  Paragraph 5.66 in our chapter talks about the fact that the federal government has made efforts to address the burden of carbon pricing in rural and remote communities. They provided some exemptions to the federal fuel charge for aviation fuels in the territories, in the north, f

Environment committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to point out that those recommendations from the just transition task force for coal workers were made back in 2018. The task force made 10 recommendations, as we noted in our chapter, and some of them were followed through and some

Environment committee  Yes.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. We don't know. We were told that it was the sixth organization to benefit from this program, but if you want to know why that is, you should maybe direct the question to Mr. Forbes.

Public Accounts committee  Yes, I do, certainly. Thank you for the question. That is outlined in exhibit 12.2, where we talk about the program initiative and then indicate the money that was spent on each program.

Public Accounts committee  I can, certainly. Exhibit 12.2, the Canadian seafood stabilization fund, was $62.5 million total; emergency processing fund, $77.5 million; emergency food security fund, $300 million, now $330 million; surplus food rescue program, $500 million; and nutrition north, $25 million.

Public Accounts committee  I'm sorry. Thank you.

Public Accounts committee  With respect to the emergency processing fund, that was all spent during the time of our audit, but we noticed that in some of the tables at the back, there were weaknesses in measuring the program results. On emergency processing funds, this was as of May 19, 2021, and 63% of re

Public Accounts committee  The organization is “La Tablée des chefs”, in Quebec, but I don't know exactly which regions it serves.

Public Accounts committee  Six organizations received funding. They are Food Banks Canada, Second Harvest, Breakfast Club of Canada, The Salvation Army, Community Food Centres Canada and La Tablée des Chefs. Those are available on the AAFC website under this program.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you. I'm afraid I don't have that particular detail, but with regard to the Canadian seafood stabilization fund, there were things we noted that were different, and inconsistencies. Different types of funding were provided, such as loans and grants. The percentages of reim
