Environment committee  Mr. Chair, perhaps I can interject by giving some examples of specific success stories SDTC has funded. There is a brand new SDTC list called “Canada's sustainability changemakers”, which was announced in May 2022. It highlights very specific SDTC portfolio companies that have s

Environment committee  For example, since SDTC was created, it has achieved an estimated 22.4 megatonnes of annual GHG emissions reductions, which I think is a fairly significant achievement. We can also provide numbers in terms of the jobs that have been created, both directly and indirectly, as a res

Environment committee  Yes. I think that would be best.

Environment committee  Yes, we can do that, Chair.

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, I don't have the answer to that question handy. We do an annual survey of clients of the Clean Growth Hub and can take a look to see whether or not we have data that could be helpful for the committee. For example, one of the key data points is the success rate of Clea

Environment committee  I don't have much to add. We have ongoing collaboration with the provinces and territories, including through the Clean Growth Hub and a number of other programs. I would say that collaboration is really quite high.

Environment committee  Chair, there is no specific target or allocation in terms of the amount of money under the SIF NZA that will be allocated to CCUS. I can say, though, that just a few months ago, the Government of Canada launched a call to action for large emitters under the NZA, with the deadline

Environment committee  I'm not sure who should start, Mr. Chair, but I can start by discussing the fact that there are, indeed, a number of challenges faced by Canadian clean-tech companies, the majority of which are small and medium-sized enterprises. That really presents some fairly unique challenges

Environment committee  Again, Mr. Chair, my specific responsibilities are in terms of clean technologies and clean growth. I am most definitely not an automotive expert. If it's helpful, I can certainly provide some examples of some of the work we've been doing in terms of mines to mobility and stren

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, I can certainly update the committee that Canada has adopted a whole-of-government approach, led by ISED, NRCan, and other government departments, in developing a robust mines-to-mobility battery supply chain. That is really aimed at establishing a new manufacturing se

Environment committee  In this case, on the question of mines, I'm going to defer to my colleague, Mr. Leyburne.

Environment committee  The question that's been asked by the member in terms of harmonization of regulations across North America really falls outside the scope of my specific responsibilities. If it's helpful, we can either provide that information in writing or we can provide a suggestion in terms of

Environment committee  Thank you. Recognizing the potential of clean technology to advancing Canada’s environmental and economic goals, the Government of Canada has made significant investments in clean technology and clean growth, creating a robust ecosystem of programs and services that support Cana
