Environment committee  No.

Environment committee  Hi. I can respond to that. There are a bunch of components to that question. On the clean fuel standard, we did indeed delay the rollout. We have back-ended it. That's quite deliberate, in response to two issues. One, of course, is the reduced capital available for investments

Environment committee  We have a small technical issue here. Matt Jones is getting his headset reapplied. He'll probably be appearing as Helen Ryan.

Environment committee  I would perhaps suggest that we get back to Ms. Collins with the answer so that we don't further delay the questions.

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, I'm going to defer to Helen Ryan, the associate assistant deputy minister, who is responsible for the plastic waste initiative.

Natural Resources committee  Good morning. My apologies for holding things up. Those who know me won't be surprised with respect to the technical challenges. I am happy to be here along with colleagues from Environment and Climate Change Canada and from across the federal government. We are very pleased to

Natural Resources committee  Can I provide an answer to Mr. McLean?

Natural Resources committee  Sorry, I don't have the volume, but there is a very significant difference. There is a policy initiative the government has recently introduced that explains why we are confident that we can change this flow of clean fuel. The current regulations in provincial—with the exception

Natural Resources committee  I thought your question was why is this going to change. I'll tell you why it's going to change. It's because the current regulations are volumetric-based. Whereas Canadian clean fuels are typically of lower carbon intensity but more expensive, we're now moving to a carbon-inten

Natural Resources committee  It will be somewhat less productive, yes.

Natural Resources committee  When we measure life-cycle emissions, we account for that difference. If a fuel gets a better life-cycle score, for example, we've accounted for the associated emissions per unit of energy.

Natural Resources committee  Maybe I can jump in. There is a fairly standard life-cycle analysis tool that's been in use in Canada for quite a few years. Environment and Climate Change Canada is in the process of developing a new tool, and we're working with provinces and the private sector and academia. Ou

Natural Resources committee  I think the simple reason is that we kind of riffed off the notional subject matter, which is focused on clean fuels. The government's approach to climate change absolutely envisages a future for oil and gas and absolutely has a number of measures in place to work with provinces,

Natural Resources committee  The challenge will be to achieve life-cycle net-zero emissions, and so we—

Natural Resources committee  There are a couple of issues there. One is the measures we have put in place. The other is the overall government rhetoric. I won't get into political rhetoric. I—
