Environment committee  If it would be helpful for the member, we're also joined today by our assistant deputy minister for Canadian Wildlife Services, who may also want to comment on this, because this is quite an important area of discussion around our protected areas.

Environment committee  I'll make a start on that question, and if my colleague Mr. Nevison wants to add, I will let him do so. As Minister Wilkinson indicated in his opening comments, a big part of the main estimates story relates to the low-carbon economy fund and the re-profiling of those resources,

Environment committee  Thank you very much for that question. I will ask my colleague, Doug Nevison, to answer that question on the Low Carbon Economy Fund.

Environment committee  Thank you very much. I am joined today by a few colleagues, including Helen Ryan, who is our associate assistant deputy minister responsible for the plastics file. I will ask Helen to reply, if you are okay with that.

Environment committee  It is a legal question, I think, in some ways.

Environment committee  I appreciate the comments on the role the supplementary (C)s can play with regard to water. There is a fairly limited scope here in terms of the supplementary (C)s that are in front of us for the purposes of this committee appearance that relate directly to water. As you know, t

Environment committee  That's a very important question and you're right to point out that this is something that is very much a priority across several federal departments. Of course, ISED has a very important role to play and has been managing some key programs in this area, and Natural Resources Can

Environment committee  One of the objectives of the clean fuel standard is to help to spur on innovation in this space. If there were time, I would invite my colleague, John Moffet, to elaborate a bit on that.

Environment committee  Thank you for your question. Ms. Ryan will answer it.

Environment committee  Thank you very much for that question. There is a very specific item in supplementary estimates (C) that is a flow-through to Agriculture Canada and then on to Smart Prosperity. That is a fact of the supplementary estimates. I would not necessarily agree with the premise of the
