I'll continue.
Unfortunately, these policies couldn't be implemented as originally planned. We may have put in place different policies to improve our environment and save the planet. However, there's an issue, at least in Quebec. Unfortunately, these policies weren't implemented because of costs. Municipalities were reluctant to implement them because they were costly. In La Pocatière, we implemented them. Under my leadership, we were the first municipality to do so in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region.
Mr. Breton, I want to speak to you in particular. My example isn't related to transportation electrification. However, the fact remains that this Quebec policy hasn't been fully implemented.
Based on the figures that you provided, from 2005 to 2020, I gather that we reduced our greenhouse gas emissions, or GHG emissions, by only 1%. I believe that our goal was a 30% reduction by 2030. Gases from waste are also a major source of pollution, as is transportation. What do you think about the fact that we can't implement policies because of the costs involved?
