First, as I said, one of the big changes has to do with the duration of agreements. Previously, each agreement could last a maximum of five years, which meant that negotiations had to begin again with the province or territory very shortly after the agreement was concluded.
Let's take the example of the clean electricity regulations, certain provisions of which will come into force in 2035. If the negotiations started now, the agreement would end before 2035. So it's a matter of finding ways to work with the provinces to achieve long-term objectives. Certain provisions of these regulations are expected to come into force as late as 2050. The possibility of having longer-term agreements will help us better plan with the provinces and territories. In addition, we'll waste less time constantly starting negotiations all over again.
