We said we would do it this year. It would’ve been faster if we had been able to keep working with you. It will take a little more time, but we are the only G20 country that committed to it.
As for our plan, the Canadian Climate Institute, an independent organization, highlighted that at the rate things are going, we will achieve our interim objective by 2026. That is a first in the history of the country. The last time greenhouse gas emissions were this low in Canada, O. J. Simpson was being tried and the iPhone had been invented, but was not yet on the market. That means our emissions haven’t been this low for 25 years.
Of course, we have to work on conservation. That is why, for instance, when it comes to marine and ocean conservation, we went from 1% in 2015 to 16%. We are on track to reach 30% by 2030. When it comes to land conservation, we are at about 15%. I am the first to recognize we must do more.
