Environment committee  I will, Deputy, just to add that the next phase of the engagement process for the national adaptation strategy will be starting in the next few weeks. The key element of that is that there have been a lot of consultations—as the deputy mentioned—with provinces, territories, natio

Environment committee  Yes, thank you very much, Deputy. Not breaking down the money that's flowed at this point, of the CAIF money for 2019-20, $60 million has flowed to the MUSH sector across the four backstop provinces. We could certainly provide you with the—

Environment committee  As you noted, in the report that just came out this week, the Manitoba-committed funding was $5.4 million as of March 31, 2021. The money is still flowing. It's a specification from the 2019-20 fuel charge. I would just make the point that all money collected and attributed to

Environment committee  If I may, I would like to add that under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, one of the key obligations is to coordinate across the federal government in developing, for example, the emissions reduction plan that will be established by the end of March. Coming ba

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, it's an excellent question. I agree completely with the commissioner that meeting Canada's climate targets and commitments will require positive partnerships across the federation. That extends to not just federal, provincial and territorial governments but also munici

The Governor in Council process would start to apply to members of the net-zero advisory body when the bill comes into force. The remuneration would be fixed at a level by the Governor in Council. The Governor in C

Environment committee  That is correct.

Environment committee  I'm not an expert on the Governor in Council appointment process.

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, I can take that question. Thank you very much for the question, Member. Currently, coming back to one of the questions that you posed to the minister, there's no funding for the net-zero advisory body in the main estimates for 2021-22. The funding was approved in the

Environment committee  We refer to it as the net-zero advisory body.

Environment committee  We have a term of reference on the ECCC, Environment and Climate Change Canada, website, and it refers to the net-zero advisory body.

Environment committee  Once the panel is stood up under a Governor in Council appointment, the employees will be deemed employees in the federal public administration, so they will be subject to other requirements under that particular stipulation.

Environment committee  The grant component of this program has been set aside for indigenous organizations to provide added flexibility in that particular situation. To date, no money has been allocated under that stream, but we have $2.5 million allocated in these main estimates in the hopes that flex

Environment committee  Yes, that is correct. We have put money aside in the hope that this will be attractive to indigenous communities and provide additional flexibility in terms of funding in their particular circumstances.

Environment committee  I think that covers the question very well. Maybe I would just point out one additional item; that is, a decrease of around $100 million in the climate action incentive fund. This was a two-year program coming out of carbon pollution proceeds in 2018-19. It was set to sunset. It
