Environment committee  There are more than 80 initiatives under the plans for climate change. There are more than 80 programs, and each program has I don't know how many projects. You should not expect me to come here on behalf of all those people without being briefed in advance and have answers about each project that is funded under each program that exists in the federal government.

Environment committee  I'm not responsible for emissions reductions. Everybody is responsible within the government for the emissions reductions they're supposed to make through their own programs. We are responsible for coordination and support of other departments in the way they develop their programs, but as I mentioned before, the accountability is still with each department to manage the programs it has.

Environment committee  I think we have had this discussion before. I would invite you to invite my colleagues from ISED, who are the ones managing this program, and they should be able to answer the question.

Environment committee  I'm the deputy minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Environment committee  We are responsible for emissions reductions and for the plans in general, but each department, in coordination with us, is responsible for the programs they manage. For example, Finance manages the ITC, and other departments manage their programs. We're not in a place where one person actually rules them all.

Environment committee  I'd answer in the same way.

Environment committee  I'm the responsible.... If you look at the Federal Accountability Act that was passed by the previous government, the way it works is that each deputy minister is responsible for the fund engaged within their departments. That's the way it is and always has been. If you want the answer, you should invite the minister or the deputy minister responsible for the management of this program.

Environment committee  I'm just saying they're the ones who should come to answer that question.

Environment committee  I also can't tell you about the conditions related to tax credits at this time, because I don't have that information in front of me.

Environment committee  I don't know if John has information on the conditions.

Environment committee  They were not distributed. I was because I rewrote them. I'm sorry that happened. I can make sure you get them.

Environment committee  It was too long, and I didn't want to waste too much of your time. I'm sorry.

Environment committee  Yes. I can also point to Parks Canada on this effort. On our side, what is very important is to provide all the accurate information for all the decision-makers. That's not just the federal government; it's also provinces and local governments, because we do provide meteorological services to all Canadians 24-7.

Environment committee  What we focus on, in our case, is building up our capacity to be able to support our friends at Public Safety in their effort. As I mentioned, we also make sure that we have ongoing funding and more funding to support decision-makers.

Environment committee  I don't personally have discussions about what that should look like, but we have discussions about how we are getting more effective at responding to the demands, for sure.
