I will address Mr. Steinley's comments first. He is very right. I don't have a crystal ball. Who knows where we will be in 10 years?
I guess, to respond directly to his point, the act currently allows for a prescribed type of fuel, so the executive branch of government already, within the parent act, has the tools to make regulations to prescribe the type of fuel. It is within the executive branch's power to rapidly adapt to changing circumstances, but hopefully by the year 2031 we will certainly be well on our way to using alternative forms of energy.
With respect to Mr. Perron's point, I was having some back and forth with the legislative drafters, and in fact, the first amendment they gave to me was regarding the consideration of having a review mechanism in place. Unfortunately it would have extended the length of the current bill by another page and a half. It looked overly complex, so I decided to do away with that possibility and go with a simple sunset clause, and that's what I arrived at with amendment NDP-1.
