Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you minister, and welcome.
You initially ruled out the possibility of having a carbon tax, and by extension the possibility of having a polluter-pay policy. You then ruled out the possibility of having an international carbon exchange, and as a result, there will be no global emissions credit trading.
But what about the fact that interprovincial trading would be possible if a carbon exchange was set up in Montreal? Do you have a timeframe for this? Is that still included in your plans? Are there any regulations currently being drafted concerning the much-talked-about domestic carbon exchange?
