As a layperson, I am very reliant on the technical work that the CCAC does in formulating carbon budgets and its models, including all the assumptions that underpin that work. I read the report. With the last budget that was submitted in 2022, give or take, effectively the committee just accepted the budget. It did a lot of other good work but it really accepted the budget that the CCAC did. Is Ms Donnelly comfortable that the CCAC is using the best model? It sounds like it has improved its methods. Ms Donnelly has already covered at least one scenario where it has changed its model to make it more modern, more simple and more straightforward. Is the CCAC comfortable that it is using the very best of what is available now to come up with effectively a set of two numbers that this committee has to consider?
