Thank you, Mr. Bigras.
There are at least a couple of points. First of all, the technology that we're talking about related to carbon capture and storage is being done on a demonstration basis in a couple of places right now. One of the key challenges is not just the capture technology; it's actually building a pipeline that will supply. In the case of the Norwegian project, as I understand it, they have all of that capability within one facility. There are still major technological challenges to getting that up and running on a consistent basis and a widespread basis across Canada. Clearly, as Nancy has said, we need to think about the policies that will stimulate those kinds of technology developments so that it is, but it's not realistic to think all of that can be in place by 2012.
It's not because there's a great argument about not doing it; we've been doing a huge amount over the last few years. The reality is that most of the major energy-consuming things we're talking about, whether it's the consumer or a business, all have very long lives. Consumers don't change when they're making decisions today about building houses, about buying vehicles, about buying appliances. Those things change over 10 to 20 years from now. It's the same issue for industry--we're talking about long-lived capital stock that doesn't change over every year or every couple of years. So we've got to think about a policy that over the longer term will produce these huge reductions, rather than spend a lot of money on very marginal improvements in the short term.
