Public Accounts committee  I have a quick answer. We did not specifically look at other democracies in terms of their systems or their challenges. We looked at how Canada ranked in terms of the feminist policy against other countries, so we didn't go down and look specifically at other challenges that exis

Public Accounts committee  May I ask Mr. Le Goff to respond to that question?

Public Accounts committee  I agree with Mr. DeMarco's conclusion that he stated. I would ask the department if they agree with what Mr. DeMarco said.

Public Accounts committee  I don't believe we have that information in the report, but I'll ask Mr. Le Goff to provide a response.

Public Accounts committee  We would have expected that both departments would have a coordinated approach in terms of determining the emission reduction. As we mentioned in the report, one department indicated that the reduction would be 15 megatonnes of emission versus 45 megatonnes of emission, so defini

Public Accounts committee  Basically, we looked at a number of assumptions. As we say in the report, some of these assumptions were overestimated, and they were based on non-existent policies. The report provides numerous examples. As an example, there was an assumption for very low-cost electricity by p

Public Accounts committee  I would say that we looked at the modelling and the assumptions. I am not in a position to determine if it was dishonest by both departments, but we definitely looked at those assumptions in trying to understand how they came up with these emission reductions.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, thank you for this opportunity to discuss our report on hydrogen's potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which was tabled in Parliament on April 26, 2022.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, that is the audit period.

Veterans Affairs committee  To refer to the report, at paragraph 2.38 we are talking about 16 initiatives that were launched by VAC in order to improve processing times and to improve the quality of the data it had. On the number of initiatives that it's presenting or has presented or is at least going forw

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes.

Veterans Affairs committee  I can give you an example. At paragraph 2.56 of the report, it says that the department lost 43 employees between November 2020 and September 2021, and this had an impact on processing of applications. The department estimated that approximately 5,000 applications were not proc

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. I don't think that it takes into account all the things that you brought up. I'll turn to my colleague, Mr. Le Goff, who can provide some insight into how the calculation was structured.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. I may have misunderstood, but you want to know which department proposed the payments. I believe that the government made the decision to use the program, in light of the pandemic, to help families. The Income Tax Act was amended, of course, to tempor

Public Accounts committee  I'll turn to my colleague. Mr. Le Goff can tell you more specifically which department made this decision.
