In the case of reducing greenhouse gas emissions overall, Canada has set several targets over time. Starting in 1992 with Kyoto targets, at least three or four different targets have been set. Canada has not met any one of those targets. During that time Canada has come up with—depending on how an auditor defines a plan—anywhere from five to eight different plans that have been developed. None of those has been fully implemented; our emissions continue to rise.
Overall, the new pan-Canadian framework is a positive note in this series of 25 years of not a lot of action—a lot of planning, not a lot of action. The pan-Canadian framework is notable because it's the first time that it has brought the provinces and territories together. Although a couple of provinces have not yet signed it, most of the others are part of the deal. It has more glimmers of hope, but we have not yet seen action and an actual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
