Summary

In this webinar, Janique Lambert, Quebec’s Commissioner for Sustainable Development, presents the findings of her audit report on the effectiveness of the revision of the implementation of the 2030 Green Economy Plan (PEV 2030). She begins by explaining the role of the Commissioner, which is to ensure government accountability for sustainable development. She then provides a historical overview of Quebec’s climate action, from the Green Fund to the creation of the Electrification and Climate Change Fund (FEC) in 2020. The core of the presentation focuses on the audit’s two main findings: first, the Ministry of Environment has not established essential milestones to track progress towards the PEV’s objectives and targets; second, the Ministry’s planning processes are insufficient to guide decisions and provide predictability. She illustrates this with the example of the target of 2 million electric vehicles by 2030, noting that only 4,201 were registered as of December 2025. The Commissioner also discusses the annual revision of the implementation plan and the challenges of managing the FEC’s surplus. She concludes by outlining the next steps, including how the government will respond to the recommendations.
