Summary of comments received: Nova Scotia equivalency agreement on greenhouse gas emissions

Two comments were received, both from industry stakeholders.  Commenters relayed strong support for the Agreement and welcomed equivalency agreements as a way to meet policy goals and avoid conflicts and duplication with provincial regulations. No changes to the Agreement were raised in any submissions.
