That's exactly one of the biggest challenges right now.
I represent a riding in Ontario. In 2009, the Ontario government introduced a Green Energy Act, replacing 25% of its energy fleet from coal generation with renewable energy. Then in 2016, I think, the Ontario government chose the cap-and-trade system as opposed to a carbon tax.
I just want to point out that the federal government at the time gave the option to the provinces of choosing the method to reduce carbon emissions.
In your view—and I'm sure you talk to other levels of government and provincial commissioners and so on and so forth—what can the federal government do to ensure consistency with other levels of government so that when a policy is introduced...? For example, in Ontario right now they have cancelled the cap-and-trade system. To me, time is ticking. If we cannot move as a society constantly towards one direction and we're taking steps back, it's counterproductive and it's not responsible to taxpayers.
I'm sure you talk to other levels like other provincial commissioners and so on. In your view, what can the federal government do to ensure that this type of consistency in policies can happen in other levels of government?
