We don't agree that the projections are overly optimistic. We follow several processes to ensure that they're realistic. We follow UNFCCC guidelines in how we prepare the projections. We've submitted five biannual reports to the UNFCCC in the last five years, all of which are subject to external review from accredited UNFCCC experts. We rely heavily on third party information. Our projections are based on historical data that's published in the national inventory report, and data from Statistics Canada. Our energy forecast comes from the Canada Energy Regulator.
