Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It seems that part of the elephant in the room, if we're going to take a look at the CCPA and at manufacturing in general in Canada, is that when we talk about the implications, today we're trying to understand the implications of what this bill and law would look like and what this would mean. I know in future testimony we'll have more of the economic analysis. I think this is critical. This is the joining of the environment and the economy in some fundamental way.
Why is credit for early action not being considered, Mr. Paton? What have you heard from government--this government and the previous one--as to why that's not on the table?
