You are aware of the situation Canada finds itself in, in that we're one of the worst among the OECD countries for our environmental record. Unfortunately, for the last 10 years not much was done, but we're committed with Bill C-30, the piece of legislation that this legislative committee is mandated to deal with.
I'm hoping I can hear from each of the witnesses recommendations on how we can strengthen this piece of legislation to truly have that end result. Bill C-30 includes short-, medium-, and long-term targets. You mentioned, Dr. Weaver, the target of 60% to 80% or 90% reduction. Our long-term target is a reduction of 45% to 65% by 2050, and heading for that goal.
You're encouraging the larger the better. Is that correct?
