Environment committee There's a significant amount of literature on the impact of pricing on people's behaviour, and that's one of the reasons that the government selected this option. It has been documented, so there's no doubt about that. We also continue to track the results, but it's not just ab

Environment committee As I said, the Canadian Climate Institute has numbers that are around $25 billion annually on the GDP. That's quite a serious number. Is it the best calculation? I will not pretend that I'm the expert at the moment to say that, but it is a cost that has been documented by many pe

Jean-François Tremblay
Environment committee It's hard for me to talk about hypothetical questions, so I would not go too far on this, but it is a legitimate question about how we make sure that we align with some of the big economies in the world. The other elements that I would add to this—

Environment committee I was just saying that we are also working with indigenous leaders on the PFPs. The minister mentioned the one million square kilometres in the north. Those are projects on which we work with provinces, territories, indigenous groups and the private sector or foundations.

Environment committee The Canadian Climate Institute actually did release a report on this, so you may want to look at it. Their assessment, if I remember well, was that by 2025 the cost per year would be around $20 billion to $25 billion, which is more than $600 per capita in the country. Those are n

Environment committee We have different projects. There's been an increase of 32% over the last years in terms of protection of lands. That's why we are now at 13.7%, if I remember well. We continue to work with groups. We continue to work with indigenous people. We also develop agreements, province

Environment committee Exactly, so there's a significant number there, and there are also, of course, other consequences, such as people losing days of work and productivity in businesses going down during those times. It is a serious number that varies a lot, but I would say that over the last few yea

Environment committee I'm sure there's a list of recent events and the costs for each of them, including on lives. We can send that to you.

Environment committee I think we told you that there was a very limited impact of the carbon pricing on any inflation in this country. It's a negligible factor—

Environment committee John, would you comment?
March 19th, 2024Committee meeting
Jean-François Tremblay
Environment committee John can go into this with the details, but the way we account for this, as you know, is being reviewed internationally on a regular basis and by peers in Canada. There has been a review process, and we should get new numbers quite soon, if I remember it well.
March 19th, 2024Committee meeting
Jean-François Tremblay
Environment committee It's more of an accounting issue. I think John can go into this. It's a different methodology, but the methodology we use is recognized internationally. It's been recognized by United Nations organizations and by experts. It's just a different way, but we're not.... I don't kno
