Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. MacLeod, you mentioned the carbon tax. I am from Quebec, and I support the tax, but westerners are much more vocal in opposing it. They do not like it, and I understand that.
I agree with you. It would be worthwhile if the carbon tax were properly invested in renewable energy. But I am a bit hesitant to let the federal government administer the carbon tax because I would not want the tax to be hidden, as with employment insurance. I think it would probably be the provincial government's job to impose the tax directly, in the provinces, and to administer it directly to help the agricultural industry. You have a supporter in me.
Furthermore, given New Brunswick's mountains, have you thought about developing wind energy? You are surrounded by mountains, and it is quite beautiful here—it reminds me a bit of the Eastern Townships, where I am from. I think you could do a lot in terms of wind energy. And there are federal wind energy programs to help you reduce your dependence on oil. What do you think of developing wind energy?
