We looked at Environment Canada's assessment of the provincial programs and whether they should be recommended to the government for approval. The provinces that wish to have their own large emitter programs, which many do, can propose something that is fairer. Because we're the federal Auditor General's office, we're looking at what Environment Canada did as its part of the equation, but the provinces that have their own large emitter programs can address these. Hopefully, they'll be reading this report as well, because they're the ones that are putting forward proposals for approval or disapproval by the federal government as part of the backstop or benchmarking process.
