Mathieu Lequain
Public Accounts committee This is cabinet confidence, so I cannot share this information. You would have to ask the department.
June 11th, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Public Accounts committee Yes, we have seen the number, and this number is a cabinet confidence. It's in the MC and TBS.
June 11th, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Public Accounts committee I'm sorry.
June 11th, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Public Accounts committee It was Innovation, Science and Economic Development.

Mathieu Lequain
Public Accounts committee However, we note in the report that in the ECCC modelling, the net-zero accelerator initiative is expected to produce a 19- to 20-megatonne reduction.
June 11th, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Public Accounts committee Yes. As we said in the report, the material for the discussion around the eligibility of projects are minutes: the records of decisions, board minutes and the project committee review. They're very concise and they're very high level, so it's very difficult, as an auditor, to understand the level of engagement, the level of discussion, for a specific project.

Environment committee Physical risk is when, due to a weather event or a climate-related event, there is a disruption in a business model or a disruption in stock, which has an impact because the capability of this company to pay back, for example, its financial commitment, could be jeopardized. This is, really, due to the physical impact of a climate.
May 9th, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Environment committee There is the effect of net-zero in the overall modelling, which is 19 to 20 megatonnes, and there is an internal target from the NZA, which is not public.
May 2nd, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Environment committee They don't have access to the target.
May 2nd, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Environment committee In the NZA, some projects are developing technology that could serve all industries—oil and gas and other industries, such as steel and aluminum. It's not industry-driven; it's more technology-driven, and some technology could apply to multiple sectors such as oil and gas and steel.
May 2nd, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Environment committee I'm not sure I understood the question. I'm sorry. Projects that are financed through the net-zero accelerator, could apply to.... You need a technology. You need a technical answer to an emission. You can think of, for example, some technology like CCUS or filters for carbon capture.
May 2nd, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Environment committee No. They could.
May 2nd, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Environment committee Well, there are some companies in the oil industry that applied to the SIF-NZA for a solution to produce some products with a lower footprint.
May 2nd, 2024Committee meeting
Mathieu Lequain
Environment committee Well, again, you need to have a technical solution. We looked at who applied. We looked at the large emitters. We noted that the process was long; the process was time-consuming. That could explain why some big emitters did not apply. It could also be, as we said in one recommendation, that the SIF-NZA is one element in a whole-of-government strategy.
