Public Accounts committee  Yes. As I indicated in previous answers, you have to look at this on a program-by-program basis, because the data is often unique to the individual program you're looking at, in terms of the results. You can't go with some generalized data collection that isn't necessarily goin

Public Accounts committee  I'll go back to the disaggregated data example. There has been progress. There has been progress even since the Auditor General's report, and we recognize that they're right and that there needs to be more. We've taken concrete steps, for example, with the privacy notice to hel

Public Accounts committee  I'm happy to jump in and follow up. I have run three big departments before Treasury Board. There's huge diversity in the programs and actions they're taking. Treasury Board, for example, would see a cement procurement. The data analysis and GBA+ done around a procurement like

Public Accounts committee  I'll give you an example from an audit from the previous auditor general. It was around an indigenous skills training program, where the programming was provided to indigenous communities. The question was, what happened to the people five years later? We didn't have data on th

Public Accounts committee  I'll give a specific example to show how we agree and how that's consistent with continuing to...and it's around disaggregated data. At the time of the first report, there was some disaggregated data, but major investments had not been made in many areas. They are needed to do

Public Accounts committee  Departments are ultimately responsible for that, but we provide them with guidance on how to do that, and we have updated the guidance over time in response to what we found in terms of weaknesses. Ultimately, it's departments that will do the reporting, though it's within a fram

Public Accounts committee  Sure. We're fortunate to have Annie here, who actually manages the team that does this, so she can give you the real-world application of it.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank Mr. Hayes and his team for their work. We agree with the Auditor General's recommendations, of course, and we are implementing them through a number of key measures, which I will discuss. Earlier this fall, we shared our observations with WAGE, al

Public Accounts committee  Malcolm can speak about it a bit more, but we've taken a staged approach. For the real property plans, which are the plans you're talking about, we started with the departments that represent the overwhelming bulk of emissions, 81% of emissions. There were eight departments. Th

Public Accounts committee  Yes. In fact, I thank Malcolm and the team. I'll point out that the greening government team is a small team of about a dozen people. They, along with the United States, have been co-chairing an international group, a greening government group which they've set up and pioneered w

Public Accounts committee  It's appropriate that the government would ask Crown corporations to come up with strategies using the mechanisms I described. If it were to flow from our report, we would have to hold consultations, as we committed to doing.

Public Accounts committee  Right now, that is not being tracked. That's one of the things, based on the commissioner's recommendation, that we've committed to go back and consult on. I would say that for all of those investment vehicles, that's part of what the international task force is working on—

Public Accounts committee  The projection point, as Bill indicated, will depend on how the technologies develop. For example, on the building front—

Public Accounts committee  I hesitate to give advice to the House of Commons. I can say that there's one project in which you may be interested in terms of how the Commons is actually heated and cooled: an upgrade to the heating facility that's near the Supreme Court of Canada. That is being converted to

Public Accounts committee  One of the reasons we need to do consultations on the Crown corporations is that, as you indicated, with the investment vehicles the government has, including CPPIB, there are questions on how they should be measuring emissions, or the emissions of the corporations—
