Government Operations committee  The recharging stations are in a variety of locations. Where they're in a public place, where the public has access, the public can recharge. Obviously, if it's in a more—

Government Operations committee  It's just there for use. I'm not aware of one where there's a charge. Obviously, if the recharging station is in a secure zone, you wouldn't have public access for that.

Government Operations committee  Can I just elaborate on that for one moment, please? The minister touched on it. The target was actually exceeded. That 40% target the minister referred to for greenhouse gas emissions reduction was by 2030. We've done it 10 years ahead of schedule. That's a great success story

Government Operations committee  No, the $440,000 referred to was the previous question about the—

Government Operations committee  No, but I'm happy to answer that now, if you like.

Government Operations committee  The department, as you know, maintains a large portfolio of real property. When we are able to sell real property, we are able to reinvest that money in our portfolio. The money referred to in the supplementary estimates, if I recall correctly—the CFO can correct me—relates to a

Government Operations committee  The answer is that it depends. I think we should probably maybe come back to this because Marc, my colleague, can offer you an explanation of the prioritization process. Just to further support what the minister said—

Government Operations committee  Certainly. In terms of PSPC's complement as a department, we are now—like all departments—on the pod system, so a pod is used to process our transactions. Since last year when we put in the pod, we have achieved a reduction of about 30% in PSPC's statistics. I believe we are no

Government Operations committee  I would like to add one more thing. In fact, it was really a way of establishing the real costs of administering the benefits. For our accommodation services related to pension, we recover that from the pension fund. This is really just bookkeeping to make sure that the pension

Government Operations committee  That amount is allocated to the administration of the pension plan, not to Phoenix. That's different.

Government Operations committee  In fact, we do that every year, in order to outline the real costs associated with the administration of the pension plan, after we do a financial audit of the actual costs.

Government Operations committee  There is a budgeting process for departments. Most budgets are regularly included in the Main Estimates, but other budgets follow a different process that involves adjusting the numbers throughout the year. That is the case here. Every year we do an audit to outline the actual c

Government Operations committee  Thank you, Minister and Mr. Chair. I have just a quick addition to this. Obviously, to power federal buildings with clean electricity you have to have a clean grid. The federal government is a large consumer because of the footprint we have from a real property perspective. If t

Government Operations committee  My understanding is that there are no added costs, but I want to turn to Mr. Fillion to confirm.

Government Operations committee  Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'll be very brief on this one. This is a procurement process competitively awarded. The department actually feels that it was a fair evaluation. It's gone to CITT—
