In 2016, the government and my staff worked hard to develop, in collaboration with the provinces, territories, indigenous peoples, businesses, civil society, young Canadians and all other Canadians, a plan to achieve our 2030 Paris Accord target, promote economic growth and increase Canada's resilience to real climate change.
This plan, published in December 2016 and sent to the United Nations, will inform Canadians of the measures and the effects they will have produced each year by 2030. As I just said, the plan also contains non-modelled measures, because we are developing rules to account for the effects of these measures on land use, carbon storage in Canada's forests and agricultural areas, and the further reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through public transit, which is a high priority for Quebec.
