I think to be fair, probably seven weeks in I won't pass judgment just yet on what other countries are doing, other than to say that I think it is important that we look around. I don't think anybody particularly has the right answer on all of these. These are complex issues, the integrations we just spoke about. I think, in a sense, countries and jurisdictions are trying different things. Some will be successful and some will be unsuccessful. But I couldn't look at a particular country and say, gosh, it looks like they've really got it right, in terms of trying to strike that right balance about doing the right thing in the long term—and I think you emphasized that, the long term—for the environment and for the economy.
What you do see is different countries taking different approaches. Some delve into the tax domain, some countries are looking at implementing cap and trade systems for emissions, fuel standards, all the myriad ways—as I'm only just learning—we touch upon the environment. There's a bevy of instruments one can use, and I think you have to be open to the idea that different instruments can best attack different problems in better ways than others.
So, no, I couldn't say I've seen a best practice emerge, mostly because I just don't feel qualified to judge that. But it's interesting to see the different approaches people are taking and try to make sure they fully understand the implications of what they're doing, because when you introduce a policy measure, it can sometimes have both intended and unintended effects. I think everybody's trying to sort through this complex area, making sure we understand that as well.
You can even see the different approaches in Canada. The provinces are trying different things, and it's too early for anyone to judge how successful they are. It's certainly too early for me.
