Yes. I've been studying the formation of climate policy in Canada since about 2002. If you look at how climate policy has been made in Alberta and British Columbia and at the federal level, you can see the very heavy influence of the oil and gas sector. Lobby organizations, industry associations and the sphere of think tanks and so on are influencing the outcome of the policy. They're very much a privileged stakeholder. They have insider status with government ministries, so they are very close in the design of regulations and in determining the bottom lines of things like carbon pricing.
