Finance committee  I think you're referring to the expert panel on sustainable finance, which had delivered a report to the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Environment and Climate Change in 2019.

Finance committee  You're correct that the report included a wide range of recommendations. I think there were 15 recommendations, and you're correct that one recommendation was to create a sustainable finance action council. There were a number of other recommendations in there that related to what we've been talking about here today: the creation of financial market infrastructure to support the growth of a sustainable finance market.

Finance committee  I think that question on the broad economic plan, the sector-by-sector plan to net zero, would be best addressed to the environment and climate change ministry.

Finance committee  I can take a quick stab at that and say that the G20 sustainable finance working group has been primarily focused on climate over the last couple of years. That group is co-chaired by the U.S. Treasury and by the People's Bank of China. It has been elevated to a working group since 2020.

Finance committee  The SFAC has consulted. I hear the point you're making that this is the financial sector and it is composed of financial institutions, but they have done outreach with groups outside the financial sector. You can see—

Finance committee  I understand that members of the SFAC may be called to this committee, so they could elaborate on this. The taxonomy report that we spoke about earlier has been published on the Government of Canada website. The SFAC submitted it to the ministers, and they had a lot of input from the Canadian Climate Institute in developing that report.

Finance committee  I can respond to that quickly. There's one example I would point to that addresses some of what you mentioned in your question. The net-zero advisory body is another body stood up by the minister responsible for environment and climate change. I think they have a broader mandate, which is to look at the transition and the economic pathways for how Canada can get to net zero to meet its climate goals.
