Thanks, Joël.

Thanks, Minister, for joining us today. I really appreciate it.

You listed a number of federal programs that are all in some way trying to address emissions and reduce emissions and address climate change, but I think you were emphasizing the frustrations the provincial government has with respect to whether it's federal action in what you deem to be provincial jurisdiction or just a lack of proper engagement with provincial authorities. Would you agree that when the federal government is pursuing the implementation of its federal programs, there ought to be more local co-operation and engagement in that implementation? Do you think that's right?
