Yes. There are very significant examples globally of cities undertaking real climate action that both creates jobs and industries and reduces reliance dramatically on burning fossil fuels. The key areas, from my perspective, are transportation, how we generate electricity and how we manage waste and building. I'll give a couple of them.
Shenzhen, China, has completely electrified its bus fleet and taxi fleet. In doing so, a company in Shenzhen became the world's leading manufacturer of electric vehicles. At a time when we're facing challenges in southwestern Ontario because of the actions of the U.S.A., it gives us a great precedent.
A second is your own city of Vancouver. Its building code is probably the leading building code in the world in terms of reducing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly gas, and dramatically reducing emissions. It's a model that should be copied by all provinces and cities across the country.
