Okay.
I briefly mentioned the importance of taking into account the increase in the absolute value of the oil and gas sector's emissions, not just the carbon intensity of each barrel. The sector's greenhouse gas emissions are rising even though the carbon intensity of each barrel is lower.
With respect to climate accountability, Équiterre believes that Parliament should follow in the footsteps of the United Kingdom and New Zealand and adopt a climate act. The act should include greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and a process for setting a carbon budget every five years, as well as frequent, binding reports to Parliament. A panel of independent experts must advise the government on its greenhouse gas emissions reduction action plans.
