Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chair, I think the response is “in 2023”. I don't think it was as of January 1, 2023. That is the objective. The government has made that clear on numerous occasions. It is articulated in our emissions reduction strategy and has been reiterated domestically and international

Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, for inviting Environment and Climate Change Canada to your committee. I am pleased to have this opportunity to discuss Environment and Climate Change Canada's response to Report 3 of the Spring 2022 Reports of the Commissioner of Environment and Sustainable

Environment committee  I'll go back to John Moffet, whose team is leading this regulatory development.

Environment committee  It's an excellent question. The climate lens resources here are to stand up a centre of excellence, build capability and capacity, and launch this pilot initiative. When you talk about social, economic, and environmental considerations being embedded more into the decision-makin

Environment committee  Mr. Moffet.

Environment committee  The first point is that this work links very directly to the work we're doing related to a national adaptation strategy. This is building that capability and capacity to better understand what is happening out there in the world, so the flood mapping work has been ongoing for a n

Environment committee  I'm going to ask Doug Nevison to reply again. His team is leading the work. There are absolutely a lot of opportunities for Canadians to engage. We are working extremely closely with provinces, territories and, importantly, with indigenous partners—Métis, first nations, Inuit—on

Environment committee  Thank you. These are very important questions, and I think we've worked hard, both we and the Department of Finance, to ensure these questions of rural Canadians, farmers and a number of northern communities are all factored into our work. John Moffet leads our team on carbon p

Environment committee  Climate programs are led out of our climate change branch, so Douglas Nevison, who's our ADM there, can maybe respond to how the CAIF looks from a Manitoba point of view.

Environment committee  The climate lens is actually a really interesting new area for us. What we're starting out on with these initial resources is piloting the work across several departments to try to better embed both mitigation and climate adaptation considerations as proposals and policies are be

Environment committee  Thank you very much for that question. On the waste and transportation—the minister referred to that in an earlier question—particularly on the waste in landfill, this is a major challenge in terms of Canada's methane emissions. The goal here is twofold. One is to increase the n

Environment committee  I'm going to ask my colleague Hilary Geller if maybe she has an update. I think our own timeline around 2023 obviously creates some importance of completing that work. I'll turn to Hilary.

Environment committee  I think for every investment we make, particularly in the area of international development—and I used to work at the Canadian International Development Agency—there are very clear accountabilities around those dollars, and that information is available. Maybe there are things we

Environment committee  I'm happy to respond. That is part of our supplementary estimates this time. One of the things I would highlight is that in the mandate letter of Minister Guilbeault, there's actually a really important reference to enhancing communications with Canadians, particularly around th

Environment committee  I may refer this to John Moffet, but what I can say off the top is that this is a very important part of Environment Canada's—
