The government released modelling with a strengthened climate plan in December, which showed that the measures in the strengthened climate plan, on top of the already implemented measures, would achieve 31%. That is without any additional provincial-territorial or business action.
Then, in the 2021 budget, additional programmatic and tax measures were announced. The government indicated that with the addition of those measures, and based on ongoing discussions with the United States, existing measures would achieve 36%. Therefore, as Minister Wilkinson explained in his testimony to this committee, it's the government's view that a target well above 36%—in the range of 40% to 45%—would be attainable, given the opportunity for innovation and the development of additional policy measures over the next decade.
