Just curious as to how much the Colwood CEEP speaks to working in collaboration with neighbouring municipalities. You mention the CEEP being directed towards energy that the municipality has control over, but it would seem that the municipality could have more influence over other energy aspects if it was clear as to what the neighbouring municipalities were planning. The more I read, the more I am realizing the obvious that if any of the municipalities that share significant urban boundaries with other municipalities do not work collaboratively, then realizing the targets set out in the CEEP becomes harder and harder. As we get closer and closer to initial target dates in CEEPs across the country, I wonder what research would say about the correlation between neighbourly collaboration and achieving targets.
