The Trottier Institute for Sustainability in Engineering and Design (TISED) at McGill University’s Faculty of Engineering, is pleased to host, for the first time, the Senate of Canada’s Standing Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources for an open forum and discussion.

The committee would like to learn about our McGill's carbon neutral activities, our role in the community and understand our research projects relating to the environment and natural resources. The senators will welcome this as an opportunity to interact with you to better understand the challenges, efforts and opportunities involved in transitioning to a low carbon economy. 

We encourage students, faculty and community members to come and engage with the Senators!

Senate Standing Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources

This committee has undertaken a sector-by-sector approach to examining Canada’s transition to a lower carbon economy. Overall, the committee’s goal is to understand the scope of the issues, identify key questions and considerations, and make recommendations to the federal government on how best to achieve Canada’s emission reduction commitments in a way that is sustainable, affordable, efficient, equitable and achievable.
