Mr. Jaccard, you said that if we were serious about reducing greenhouse gas--and I look forward to reading your book, and you've already answered regarding the carbon tax in clarification. You're recommending strongly that we have a graduated scheme.
My background is in local government. I was a city councillor for almost fourteen years, and whenever you made an adjustment, you did it gradually. Otherwise you would have a huge outcry.
It just realistically cannot be done unless you do things gradually, because the infrastructure has to be built. You have to adjust, and you can't ask everybody to drive hybrid vehicles or low-emission vehicles tomorrow, because they're not available. I think sequestration is the direction in which we need to go, but you have to have enough time to build that.
Regarding your comment that if we're serious about reducing greenhouse gases...I think you were indicating that to this point--and I don't want to get political--you have not seen a seriousness about reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Is that a fair comment?
