Absolutely. I think that government needs to show leadership when it comes to climate action. For sure, it needs to set the pace and it needs to set the right targets and the right price signals to ensure that the entire economy will follow.
However, I do think that the industries that are responsible for the climate crisis and contributed to it a lot historically, or still do today, need to do their fair share. The government, which also means every single Canadian, doesn't have to pay for the entire transformation of these industries if they are to transform in a way that's sustainable.
There is a balance to find there. I do think that regulation from the federal government is a strong tool. That's why we are waiting for regulations on the just transition, on the emissions cap and on the zero-emission vehicles mandate. Those are the ways that I think that our government should take the lead when it comes to decarbonizing.
