I'll give you a very simple example. The Quebec plan, like the Canadian measures retained from the old Canadian plan, recommends raising ethanol levels in gasoline to 10%. When you don't take into account the life cycle of ethanol, ethanol production doesn't directly reduce greenhouse gases. The Canadian plan, like the Quebec plan, states that this measure will make it possible to achieve a reduction equivalent to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions produced by automobiles. In actual fact, the reduction would perhaps be more in the order of 2% to 3%, with remaining emissions being transferred to the agricultural, transportation and industrial sectors. This is simply an emissions transfer. So this a measure that's not very effective.
