Thank you. I just have about one more minute of context to add as the program manager for the environment and climate change group with CSA.
The information I want to bring forward today is that aside from standards development, we also have a large portfolio of programs and services that we offer that are supplemental to certification and testing.
I'd like to focus on climate change implementation and emissions within the province, present day and into the future. I think by and large the biggest program we do offer and manage is that, since 2007, we have operated the entire offset system within the province of Alberta. Under the specified gas emitters regulation, there are means by which the large emitters in Alberta can track and reduce their emissions under that regulation. CSA has been operating the entire offset registry system since 2007.
Obviously the federal government is now very actively engaged in the climate portfolio. As we move into the era of new regulations within Quebec, British Columbia, and Manitoba, I just want to bring to the table that CSA has a lot of experience and services that we've been working with the provinces on for about 10 years now.
You will be receiving further slides from the CSA group, I believe on Friday. In those slides, I have provided for you a pictorial representation of the Alberta offset system and what it looks like.
My key takeaway that I would like you to have is that public transparency, from a climate change reporting perspective, is of utmost importance. People in the public need to trust that offsets and the use of carbon market mechanisms are robust and secure.
Our registry and work with the Province of Alberta really speaks to that, in that all project documentation on any greenhouse gas initiatives are publicly available. If you're looking for the emissions savings or emission reductions and offset usage of any specific company, you can use our registry, and the public portals that are live and active today, to gain insights as to who's creating offsets, how they are creating them, who's verifying them, and what the verification reports say.
Public transparency is of utmost importance for us. I just wanted to bring that context to you today, aside from the standard development work that we do. We have a lot of robust programs that are very mature with all the provinces, and we're obviously very interested in supporting linkages, new regulations in Ontario, Quebec, B.C., Manitoba, and others.
I just wanted to provide that. There will be some supplemental information on Friday that you will be receiving from us. I appreciate the opportunity to provide that context for you today.
