Thank you, Chair.
This is a question again for Ms. Donnelly. We'll be giving you the last word on this.
You've made it very clear that Canada is in a situation in trading where the EU has a very distinct advantage over Canada. My question, though, is what is available on the market. When Mr. Bramley was here, he said that there were approximately 150 tonnes of CDM credits available. You went on to share that taking out the hot air quota substantially reduces it, by...I think the figure you used was 91 megatonnes. Then you were saying it would be unrealistic to expect that Canada would be able to buy one half of all that's available on the market, when you have other countries that may be looking at this market. Then you said that one half of what is available is also this illegal substance, HCFC-22.
I did some research and found that HFC-23 is a byproduct of HCHC--22, and it's even worse; it's almost 12,000 times as potent as carbon dioxide. And this is what is being proposed: that if we don't buy hot air, we're going to ask Canada to buy half of that, which is unrealistic, and half of it is to buy an illegal substance.
Could you comment on that?
