Mr. Michael Cleland at the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

I hope my testimony is reasonably clear on that. I think the answer is clearly no.

But I would like to add that I disagree with the witness who suggested that it might have been a good idea in 1998. I disagree with that. In 1998 it was a bad idea too; we couldn't meet those targets then. We reached too high, and as a consequence, we ended up stifling a lot of the things we needed to do. We needed to understand the economy better.
