Environment committee  I don't think we have anybody from international here, so I'll address the question. I take it the question was primarily focused on international climate change activities. We have a range of international climate change activities. We are active participants in the United Nati

Environment committee  This is an issue of concern and interest to the government. The initial design of the carbon-pricing system explicitly addressed considerations of the agricultural community. The federal pricing system is designed to minimize the impact on the agricultural community.

Environment committee  I can provide the committee with documents around the design of the federal pricing system as well as documents we developed with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada that describe the impact of the carbon pricing system on various components of the agricultural sector. I'd be happy

Environment committee  I'll emphasize that the measurement and modelling address emissions and sequestration. Our reports are designed to account for sequestration, in other words, the amount of carbon, for example, that certain farming and forestry practices take out of the atmosphere.

Environment committee  Environment and Climate Change Canada does the modelling. We are supported with some data from other departments, but all of the modelling is done by the department. As my colleague emphasized, the actual modelling approach, particularly for farming impacts and forestry impacts,

Environment committee  I don't think I can say that any one community will receive an equal amount to others, but the program is targeting all affected communities regardless of any position they took during the consultations. It's actually primarily not a program for dispensing money directly to a com

Environment committee  Ultimately, a lot of it will, for capacity building, but some of it will also be dedicated to doing environmental studies on issues identified by indigenous communities.

Environment committee  Again, that's all part of the accommodation measures that were developed under the TMX decision. I think it's primarily a vagary of the way government budgets are dispensed. Money was allocated to departments early on, and then as the design of the program evolved and different

Environment committee  This funding is part of larger program around the Salish Sea. It is a program designed to engage all the indigenous communities in a discussion and planning process to identify the cumulative impact of the issues of concern to them, and then to develop ongoing monitoring activiti

Environment committee  The Department of Natural Resources and, primarily, the Canadian Forest Service, will be leading the program.

Environment committee  It's related to science.

Environment committee  Perhaps I can respond. This funding is part of a full suite of funding that the government has provided as accommodation measures for indigenous communities directly or indirectly affected by the Trans Mountain pipeline. The decision around the nature of the accommodation measur

Environment committee  It's absolutely important for all households, all individuals, to file returns. While I can't speak to the details, the Canada Revenue Agency has an active outreach program particularly focused on low-income individuals, indigenous people and others who may not traditionally have

Environment committee  Maybe I'll start. First of all, good morning from Burnhamthorpe and Kipling, where I was born.

Environment committee  The government committed to return all money raised through the federal carbon price back to the jurisdiction of origin. We do that in two ways. One is through the CAIF, which represents the funds raised by the carbon price on fuel. Approximately 90% of that money goes directly
