If the purpose of this particular clause is to have research and studies conducted on the effectiveness of pollution control techniques, I believe that a number of relevant technologies do exist. I also believe that this verification could be done provided we want Bill C-30 to address greenhouse gases as well as different technologies. Therefore, we can arrange it so that the ministers in fact conduct research relating to greenhouse gases and the effectiveness of various techniques.
