Environment committee  I will answer your question in English, Ms. Pauzé. The federal government has been involved in the assessment and management of toxic substances for over 30 years. In the last 15 years, the government has become a little more coordinated and centralized through the development o

Environment committee  As the deputy explained, there are methodological issues and choices need to be made. I don't think it's fair to say that our system lacks integrity. There are definitely judgments that have to be made in the way that we estimate emissions. The goal is to estimate anthropogenic e

Environment committee  Any changes we make will be changes that are guided by evolution in international norms.

Environment committee  Could I just add that this is the methodological disagreement that we have with the Parliamentary Budget Officer? The Parliamentary Budget Officer's estimate of the GDP impacts did not compare the GDP impacts of carbon pricing to an economy facing climate change without the ca

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  Yes. We have plenty of analysis on trade impacts, competitiveness impacts, affordability impacts.

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  I don't know, and I don't know that we have that analysis.

Environment committee  We'll have to look.

Environment committee  When we published the ban on single-use plastics, we also published, as we do with every regulation, a regulatory impact assessment statement, which included a review of the economic costs of replacing single-use plastics, including plastic straws. Potentially regrettable substi

Environment committee  I will start by repeating the analysis that we've shared publicly. We estimate that of the total emissions reductions that will be achieved economy-wide by 2030, approximately one-third will be attributable to the carbon price. If we were to remove the carbon price from the eco

Environment committee  I don't think our model draws a straight line between global temperatures and our GDP. It is an economy-wide, computable general equilibrium model that can estimate the GDP impacts of various issues, including climate change or any new measure, such as the carbon price, regulat

Environment committee  For every measure we've introduced, we've had to provide Canadians with modelling about the estimated impacts, including, in particular, two impacts. One of these is this: Will the measure contribute to the reduction of emissions? The answer, as we've stated repeatedly, is th

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  Yes. We shared this analysis globally. There is a fairly well-established methodology for estimating the incremental impact of a tonne of greenhouse gas emissions—regardless of where it comes from—on the overall climate and progression of climate change, in terms of whether it wi
