I also thank the honourable member for Goldstein for her very strong and good-faith collaboration with the government. In the NDC that has already been sent to the UNFCCC, it makes it clear that the government regards 43 per cent as a floor to our ambition, that we think that, with industry and governments—state, federal and local—working together, the country can do even better. That is explicit in the bill. The honourable member's amendment makes it even more explicit. The government is happy to support it.
