A new plan from the government calls for a net zero goal for Canada's oil and gas sector by 2030. It's an ambitious goal, but it's achievable, and it's one that's not only achievable, but achievable.
00:00:00.000Lindsay Duncombe, CBC News. Following up on the idea of the fossil fuel industry, why make the call to hold oil and gas to just over 30% instead of going the full way and having them go over 40% as the rest of the economy is?
00:00:15.980We lost 10 years on our path to 2030 because for 10 years, under the Harper Conservatives, nothing got done on fighting climate change, on reducing emissions from the oil and gas sector, on preparing for the future that everyone saw clearly was coming.
00:00:35.560And that's why the work we have to do, yes, is ambitious, but it's also realizable.
00:00:42.560We're going to reach that 40% cut in Canada's emissions by asking all different sectors, including oil and gas, to be incredibly ambitious and concrete in their ability to do that.
00:00:59.560This is the plan that's going to get us to net zero by 50 and 40% by 2030.
