Environment committee  It's precisely the same information, but it's associated with each plan, so you would get it on specific timelines as prescribed in the bill.

Environment committee  That's correct.

Environment committee  Yes, and again, this is the minimum that must be included in each plan.

Environment committee  I have two points. First, yes, the minister could do this. Second, of course we'll get to these provisions, but clauses 25 and 26 are relevant to this discussion. Clause 25 requires that the methodology used to report on emissions must be consistent with the methodology we use

Environment committee  I think what we're talking about here is not methods for achieving reductions, but methods for reporting on emissions, and the federal government reports on emissions following standardized international protocols.

Environment committee  They're not precisely the same, but I think they have the same effect. G-8 would add, among other things, new paragraph 10(1)(f): projections of the annual greenhouse gas emission reductions resulting from those combined measures and strategies, including projections for eac

Environment committee  I need to be careful. I'm not here to provide the committee with legal advice, and I'm not here on behalf of the Department of Justice. It's our view from a policy perspective, in discussing this with the people who will be responsible for implementing the act, that “demonstrat

Environment committee  The bill as amended would make the NDC the 2030 target. The government can amend the NDC from time to time, and the Paris Agreement calls on parties to continually increase their ambition. As we have observed over the past few years, and most strikingly with the issuance of the s

Environment committee  I think amendment G-3 has already made that clarification.

Environment committee  I think it's the opposite. The bill as currently written allows the minister to change targets, but only more stringently. The amendment before the committee at this time is to eliminate that provision, which would eliminate the authority to change targets.

Environment committee  Sure. The bill currently allows the minister to alter the targets, but only to make them more stringent. This amendment would eliminate the ability to change targets.

Environment committee  I don't know if I should characterize it the way you did, but it would fix the targets so it would make them immutable.

Environment committee  I'm sorry. I just need to make sure I look at the amendment. Does it concern the targets or the plans?

Environment committee  The plans must include a target, and this is referring to plans. I apologize.

Environment committee  I'm scrolling through amendments here, and maybe we should be referring this to the committee clerk just so we're precise about precisely what is involved here.
