Of course, climate change is an existential threat and it is something that we must address, but we have to address it in thoughtful ways, in ways that will actually promote economic prosperity for all regions of this country.
Our government has put in place a climate plan that is perhaps one of the most comprehensive that exist in the world—comprehensive and detailed. It has elements that relate to all sectors, but certainly the oil and gas sector, which is the largest single source of emissions in Canada. That includes putting a price on carbon pollution, strengthening our existing methane regulations, clean fuel regulations, and putting a cap on emissions from the oil and gas sector, but also includes making strategic investments in the oil and gas sector to help companies adopt clean technologies and invest in infrastructure necessary to eliminate emissions.
This program is exactly on that track, which is focusing on ensuring we are driving and working and partnering with the sector to ensure that we are actually making the emissions reductions possible in a manner that will enhance competitiveness.
