Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to clarify something that Mr. Harvey said. I think Mr. Cullen also referred to it.
The aim of the bill is to make the Kyoto objectives compulsory, and there are a number of ways to do it. However, we have to draw the line. If the bill passes and the government is compelled to respect the Kyoto targets, then it will be up to the government to decide how to proceed.
The government cannot ask us how much it will cost or what is to be done. Would it be 20 per cent of domestic market trades and 30 per cent foreign credits?
The bill is not intended to replace the government. Its intention is to ensure that Canada will not go against international law and will respect its Kyoto Protocol obligations.
