An agreement in principle to cut methane emissions in the oil and gas sector by 75% below 2014 levels by 2035 marks the second issue settled between the two sides ahead of an April 1 deadline set out in a memorandum of understanding late last year. Earlier this month, the federal government said it would delegate jurisdiction on environmental and impact assessments to the province.
