Thank you, Chair.
I think the points made by Mr. Jean are quite relevant. The scope that is being proposed here with the Liberal amendment is quite narrow, focusing at the 30%, saying that you play by our 30% rules and disregard the 70% of the polluters. I think that narrow scope is not the way to go.
I was quite surprised by some comments made by Mr. Cullen, unaware apparently.... Hopefully, he has read the Clean Air Act. Under clauses 29 and 33, it very clearly talks about carbon trading. It's on pages 28 and 29. So carbon trading has always been part of the Clean Air Act. The market should decide where that trade will occur. So it is already part of the Clean Air Act, and I don't support the Liberals' attempt to a very narrow scope. There would be no prohibition on the release of greenhouse gases without a permit, nor would there be any authority to create such a prohibition through regulation. I think what's being proposed in the Clean Air Act is a much better and larger scope and it's a better way to handle it.
