Thank you very much.
Mr. Drouin, I have read your brief. What I took from it is that you are proposing what amounts to a change in philosophy in all areas. And I applaud you for that.
I am going to focus on the transportation sector, since that is where you put most of your emphasis in the presentation. In the government's notice of intent concerning Bill C-30, I read that:
Canada's new government will continue to develop and implement regulations to reduce smog- and acid rain-forming emissions from vehicles, engines and fuels in alignment with the standards of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Here is my question. You talked throughout your presentation about standards adopted by the European Community. Do you feel that the EPA standards are adequate to deal effectively with smog, among other things?
