Good morning. My question is for Mr. Villeneuve.
Your record speaks for itself. I'm pleased to be questioning you this morning, and I thank you for providing us with some clarification.
First of all, from what I understand, Canada has taken no measures since 1997 to achieve the Kyoto objectives. In the present situation, it's as though I was asking you to leave Chicoutimi and come and meet with us on Parliament Hill in the next hour. We have to put this back on the rails.
The public of course reacts when they hear about a restrictive approach and targets set for 2050. Some people tell us that a lot of things can happen between now and 2050. You mentioned some concrete measures that can be taken to achieve more short-term objectives, but I'd like to know how you think we can ensure, and assure people, that we're headed in the right direction. As Mr. Castonguay said, citizens have to change behaviour and take more concrete action in their everyday lives.
You've also talked about a national carbon limit. I'd like you to give us some more details on that subject.
Lastly, time permitting, I'd like us to discuss one aspect of Bill C-30 that we didn't address today, the fight against atmospheric pollutants in order to combat smog. I believe that's unheard of, and I'd like to hear your comments on that subject.
Thank you.
