Environment committee  I think that Canada, in the context of reconciliation, should consider investing in what it should to repair the harm done to indigenous communities. As I said earlier, in our view, there is a distinction that needs to be made between the subsidies that government is giving to

Environment committee  From a personal experience, I think it should, but we also need to think that those—

Environment committee  I do. I do, and this war has exposed the need for us to transition away from oil and gas. Around the world, the European Union and members of the European Union are looking for ways to transition away from fossil fuels and gas. There is, of course, this energy crunch discussion t

Environment committee  The energy experts around the world, in particular those from the International Energy Agency, have said clearly that this represents a moment of wake up in the context of energy security. It will come first, of course, with relying on some fossil fuels, but this is also a way in

Environment committee  I see a concern with the impact on fiscal policy and the help that indigenous communities need in the context of transitioning and making sure they have the services they need to thrive, but I don't think we can limit the debate on fossil fuel subsidies to that specific case. We

Environment committee  Are you asking me, or are you asking Dr. Langlois-Bertrand?

Environment committee  Dr. Langlois-Bertrand hasn't answered, so I'm going to give him the 40 seconds.

Environment committee  No. In our opinion, any support that's granted to that industry is a fossil energy subsidy.

Environment committee  I'm certainly happy to continue on that front. I agree with Mr. DeMarco that the solution ahead of us is not necessarily one where we're seeking to demonize one industry over the other. It's actually about putting people and communities first. The climate crisis is all about sec

Environment committee  No, and you're right: The emissions reduction plan is presenting a huge weakness, which is that it's trying to meet targets while at the same time increasing production of fossil fuels. That is inconsistent with the latest report from the IPCC. Actually, the IPCC report yesterda

Environment committee  The first thing we need to note is that we are currently giving about 14.5 times more support for fossil fuels compared with other countries. Just as a comparison, G20 countries provide about 2.5 times more support for fossil fuels than renewables. This kind of gives you an idea

Environment committee  There is no such thing as an efficient fossil fuel subsidy. Fossil fuel subsidies could be seen as providing small benefits, but overall, in the context of the climate crisis, there's no such thing as an efficient fossil fuel subsidy. The importance of a definition is a matter o

Environment committee  Thank you very much. It's a real pleasure for me to be with you today. I am speaking to you from Tiohtá:ke on the unceded territory of the Kanien'kehá:ka. I am the international climate diplomacy manager with the Climate Action Network. Yesterday the intergovernmental panel re
