Public Accounts committee  Thank you. I always appreciate the opportunity to further clarify. As I mentioned in my opening comments, Environment and Climate Change Canada's modelling, the modelling that's referenced in the commissioner's report, focused on a set of policies and measures contained in the s

Public Accounts committee  Yes. Thank you for that. We have a range of them. Some of them I referenced in my opening statement, including the clean fuel regulations that were published in July 2022. Also, Natural Resources leads the work on the complementary clean fuels fund that has been put in place to

Public Accounts committee  I will happily defer this one to John Hannaford. This is a very dynamic space, which I know Mr. Hannaford has referenced a bit already in his remarks today.

Public Accounts committee  Derek Hermanutz, would you like to respond to that in terms of the scenarios?

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. I would just draw you back to the emissions reduction plan the government brought forward in March. It contained $9.1 billion in new investments and reflects economy-wide measures, some of which you have mentioned—carbon pricing and clean fuels—while

Public Accounts committee  What you're highlighting is the attention to implementation. I think that is fully my preoccupation and the preoccupation of many across government who have initiatives that are detailed in the emissions reduction plan. It's one of the reasons the plan includes an implementation

Public Accounts committee  Yes, they are. I mentioned the $9.1 billion that came and subsequent investments in budgets.

Public Accounts committee  I don't exactly have that number, but I can get you that. I'm happy to do so.

Public Accounts committee  They're looking at what the specific terms of reference might be for the next steps, how broad the expert process should be and how we might want to proceed with the engagement of experts, internal and external, by government. I think the important thing for members to be aware

Public Accounts committee  I would say that, similar to some of the earlier comments that have been made, it's going to take a whole suite of measures to achieve what are some very ambitious climate goals in Canada. I think my colleague from Natural Resources Canada spoke very well about the potential rol

Public Accounts committee  As I mentioned, that is something that is referenced in our action plan. It is something that we spoke to in the emissions reduction plan. The work is under way. I can tell you that the independent expert has completed an initial scoping exercise with Environment and Climate Cha

Public Accounts committee  Thank you very much. One thing I would like to say in response, Mr. Chair, is that of course if you go from the strengthened climate plan to the emissions reduction plan that came out some 14 or 15 months later, the modelling that went into the strengthened climate plan evolved

Public Accounts committee  I think the response is that, if you look at the emissions reduction plan on its own, it contained $9.1 billion of investments across the economy in various sectors, and there were subsequent investments made in budget 2022—

Public Accounts committee  It is $50 a ton.

Public Accounts committee  It will be increasing by $15 each year in April, not in January.
