I'll tell you just as an individual that I find that frustrating as well, and I understand why members would ask those questions. These emissions targets are not just about reducing emissions; they're about trying to prepare Canada for the future. It's about trying to reduce the impacts of climate change and to make sure we're ready for a future in which the rest of the world is trying to decarbonize.
Though some of the targets seem a long time away—2050 certainly seems a long time away—the actions we need to take to reduce emissions and prepare for the low-carbon economy require long-term thinking. These require multi-decade transformations. Having these things off in the future help motivate the right decisions today that will help Canada not just reduce the impacts of climate change but be prosperous in low-carbon economies of the future.
