The oil and gas sector is part of the LFE, the large final emitters. The previous government was going to regulate that sector through the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, which is an act that serves to protect Canadians. It is concerned with pollution prevention—protecting our air quality, our water quality, and the soil. The oil and gas sector is included in the LFEs, the large emitters. There was a target being negotiated with industry. It was being reduced with time, but at least it was a start.
