Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. DeMarco, Ms. Da Costa and Ms. Leach, for being here.
I read through some of the lessons learned that you put in here regarding the things we should be asking about.
You've done so much work on this. I would like to ask you some of the questions that you posed to the government because I think you may have some answers and ideas on this.
One thing I want to talk about is lesson 2. You started by saying that no government since 1990 has met its targets for emissions reductions. Governments, obviously of both parties, over time have failed to do this.
It now seems, and this is something you point out, that our economies depend on emission-intensive industries and sectors such as oil and gas. In this, you talk about what we can do to deliver on its promise...for this oil and gas sector to actually meet the targets. You talked about the levers as well.
Can you talk about the cap on pollution that we've put in place for the oil and gas industry?
The oil and gas industry has set its own targets. This cap is basically enforcing that and ensuring that it will meet those targets. There's a lot of controversy about putting in place a cap on pollution. Is this the kind of lever you're talking about that we need or is it something like this?
What else would you suggest to ensure that the oil and gas sector actually follows through on its commitments to reduce emissions?
