When it is operational. Very well.
Before coming to the committee, I reread the presentation made by Mr. Caillé, the former president of Hydro-Québec, to the National Assembly Committee regarding the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol. I was struck by one of the statements he made.
The European Commission explained to us by video-conference the three-pronged model of using a sectoral approach and a territorial approach to meet the Kyoto objectives. That caught my attention.
Mr. Caillé stated:
Regarding the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, Hydro-Québec recommends that the Quebec government ask Canada for similar treatment to that of Sweden in Europe, that is, a target of 4% above 1990 levels rather than 6% below, on the basis of the same factors that led to the decision in Europe to apply that target to Sweden.
Claude Villeneuve, who is a climate change expert, has said that regional aspects are fundamental to the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol.
What do you think of the idea of a territorial approach to achieving the Kyoto objectives?
