Environment committee Thank you.

Ed Fast
Environment committee Okay, I'll get to it quickly. Mr. Sopuck has asked me to ask you this, Joanna. You noted that there were answers to his very specific questions. Could you provide this committee with the evidence that you've referenced? Going back to Joanna, I'm going to quote you here. Your

Environment committee Those goals are pretty clear. They're outlined in the Paris Agreement, and individual provinces have set those goals. You're familiar with them. What carbon price will it take achieve those?

Environment committee You want to see it keep going up—
January 30th, 2019Committee meeting
Ed Fast
Environment committee Okay. The last question is going back to the low-carbon fuel that you talked about, Massimo. You mentioned that there was a lack of political will to get that goal done. Can you tell me how that lack of political will has manifested itself and what we can do to address it?
January 30th, 2019Committee meeting
Ed Fast
Environment committee Thank you for saying that a package of policies is required. I totally agree with you.

January 30th, 2019Committee meeting
Ed Fast
Environment committee All right. I think I heard you mention two solutions and one was a carbon offset model. Tell me what that looks like.
January 30th, 2019Committee meeting
Ed Fast
Environment committee I understand. Could you provide our committee with a bit of a sketch—you don't have to do that now—
January 30th, 2019Committee meeting
Ed Fast
Environment committee —supplementary to your appearance here today, with an idea of what those offsets might be, at least the ones that might work for your industry? It's not only your industry. We've heard from the refining industry. We know the cement industry is in deep. They've been provided with
January 30th, 2019Committee meeting
Ed Fast
Environment committee There are other industries that are looking for a way of addressing their emissions that doesn't involve a carbon pricing model that undermines their competitiveness. The final question for you is this. You also mentioned a low-carbon fuel future which is going to require techno

Ed Fast
Environment committee Thank you very much. I've listened very carefully to the presentations and I first of all want to address the issue of British Columbia. Joanna, you're from B.C. Is that correct?
January 30th, 2019Committee meeting
Ed Fast
Environment committee You're not. Okay, I am. I have lived the B.C. carbon tax and, as you know, the tax was promised to be revenue neutral and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I want to read something that is less than a year old. It's from the Sierra Club: “B.C.’s latest emissions data mark y
