[...] On the other hand, GEEM takes a broader view and focuses on the linkages between sectors and regions with the broader economy of Canada, North America, and the world.

[...] Immediate policy actions to be taken over the next two to three years include increasing the carbon tax, continuing to improve the building energy codes, ensuring new drives in the upstream natural gas sector are powered by electricity rather than gas combustion, and working to mitigate the lock-in of GHG emissions at LNG facilities while developing an emissions regulation for the mining and manuf
