The regulatory framework includes early action measures and they pertain exclusively to industries covered by the framework. Hydroelectric corporations do not produce emissions, greenhouse gases, or air pollutants. Accordingly, they will not be covered by the industrial emissions regulatory framework. Early action measures pertain exclusively to those companies that produce emissions and that will eventually be covered by the regulatory framework. Measures to recognize the contribution to the overall effort to deal with climate change made outside of the regulatory framework fall under the general envelope reserved for various initiatives.
