It is absolutely vital. That's why some of our recent advice to the Minister of the Environment was on doing everything we can to make these equivalency agreements more transparent and accountable. For example, methane emissions reductions are really low-hanging fruit for Canada. We have the technology to reduce methane emissions from landfills and from oil and gas. We could meet these targets that the government has created but that have not been finalized and implemented.
The good thing about it is that the technologies required to do that are technologies that Canadian companies could be marketing and exporting overseas. To make this happen, though, because the provinces end up doing some of the implementation and monitoring, we need a solid agreement with the provinces. Without those agreements, we're missing out on not just emission reductions, but we're missing out on economic opportunities.
