Lester Pearson is often remembered for social policy. Probably one of his biggest efforts was the Auto Pact. I think Canadians accept the integration of the North American auto sector, so that's not lost on me. I don't want to do anything that would put investment in jeopardy, put jobs in jeopardy, in this sector. What we do want to see is real action.
You've got to be very careful that in an effort to reduce pollution you don't increase greenhouse gas emissions...or fuel efficiency, which has often been the case. So we want to look at all proposals. I think if we could work with all of the auto manufacturers and if we could raise the incentive.... Right now the Canadian standard is better than the California standard. It's better than the CAFE standard in the United States.
I mean, California is obviously pushing to go demonstrably lower. I think we've said we want to go with the best and dominant standard. If Canada and California and the U.S. Congress can get our action together, so that we'll reduce both greenhouse gases and pollution, that would be great for everyone, because we share an airshed. It would be a significant effort to get greenhouse gas emissions reduced in the United States, as well as in Canada.
