"There might be known, unreported emissions or emissions (industry) doesn't have to report." "The more we know about the sources of methane emissions, the better we can find ways to target and reduce those emissions." "Methane emissions provide some of the most cost-effective approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the country," she said. She said Ottawa will report on the effectiveness of the methane regulations late next year.
