Book excerpt: AN EVEN GREENER GOVERNMENT: IMPROVING THE GREENING GOVERNMENT STRATEGY TO MAXIMIZE ITS IMPACT Report of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates Tom Lukiwski, Chair JUNE 2019 42nd PARLIAMENT, 1st SESSION Published under the authority of the Speaker of the House of Commons SPEAKER'S PERMISSION The proceedings of the House of Commons and its Committees are hereby made available [...] The parliamentary privilege of the House of Commons to control the publication and broadcast of the proceedings of the House of Commons and its Committees is nonetheless reserved. [...] In the United States, the Department of Defense and the military services similarly account for most of the U. S. government's energy use, Nancy Sutley, who served as the chair of the White House council on environmental quality from 2009 to 2014, told the Committee. [...] Through an Enhanced Use Lease agreement, the Army agreed to lease 14,000 acres to the venture, which is producing energy and providing maintenance to the base in exchange for the right to sell excess electricity on the commercial grid.2 Some of DND's emissions, along with those of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the coast guard, are exempt from the Greening Government Strategy targets [...] The Committee also notes that DND (which was not part of the Committee study) and PSPC continue to account for the bulk of the federal government's GHG emissions, and the Committee recognizes the actions those departments have already taken to address that fact.
