Merci, Monsieur le President. My questions are for the Minister of Finance, who is in charge of carbon pricing.

The Minister has said that we haven't quite signed onto carbon pricing by stating that a memorandum of understanding is yet to be completed. Can the Minister explain what this memorandum of understanding is all about and whether there is a deadline for its completion? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, okay. The document the Minister is going to give us is only going to deal with the O and M side. I will double check myself, but I understood that this gap also was on a capital side, and that's why I'm raising it here. I know some folks don't want us to talk about O and M, but I am talking about capital. As I understood, that municipal funding gap review also had a capital component. I look forward, if the Minister can clarify that when he provides the additional information, that will be much appreciated. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. The recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says we are already seeing the consequences of a 1-degree Celsius increase in global warming. There is more extreme weather and diminishing Arctic sea ice among other changes. Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius would require "rapid, far-reaching, and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society." Ninety-one authors and review editors from 40 countries prepared the report with more than 6,000 scientific references cited.

The good news is that some of the kinds of actions that we...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Okay, so we are going to have a recalculated figure. That figure, can someone tell me how it is actually calculated? I know there is some sort of an inventory that the department has prepared, a condition of buildings and infrastructure changes over time. Presumably, somebody's going to have to go out and look at some of that stuff again. Can I get just a bit of a general explanation of how that figure is arrived at? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. I look forward to getting the document in February. Can the Minister tell us whether the gap itself has been recalculated? Obviously, as we move forward in time, infrastructure changes, cost of living increases and so on. Does the department actually recalculate this on a regular basis? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the list of items that the planning study is going to review. I know that half of the funding is going to come from the federal government. I support this work. I just want to make sure that it gets done in a timely fashion.

What are the prospects that we could obtain federal funding under the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund for the actual mid-life update itself, the renovations that are going to be required? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. My colleague from Kam Lake asked the questions I was going to. Thanks.

I would like to thank the Minister for that information, and we will talk more about completing the network.

The exact duties and job descriptions of the victim services coordinators are not clear, as our government delivers these services through third parties in various communities. It is my understanding that some of these individuals perform many functions above and beyond the call of duty, including cleaning up crime scenes.

Can the Minister explain exactly what type of supports are available for these coordinators and whether there has ever been a review of the effectiveness of these...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So how is it decided whether an appropriation is used for this or whether it should come out of the liquor and cannabis revolving fund? Are there criteria for those? And can the Minister share those with us? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. My question is for the Minister of Justice, who is responsible for victim services for this government. Can the Minister explain if there is a plan to expand the current community-based victim services offered through 10 coordinators to all of our communities, and, if not, why not? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
