Sufficient flexibility is necessary to implement local measures so as to adapt to climate change. Employment structures are changing. In order to truly change our society, we have to modify our governments' directions to meet the requirements of the Paris agreement. That could result in job and profit losses, or expose us to legal action by companies. The Lone Pine Resources lawsuit is a good example of that, as it concerns shale gas in Quebec. The lawsuit is ongoing. As I was saying, the $250 million of public funding could go directly to that company. Examples of those kinds of lawsuits are multiplying. However, these are democratic policies adopted by legislative assemblies for the public good.
