Mr. Chairman, my question is really addressed to Mr. Bigras.
It seems to me that we should be limiting the greenhouse gas emissions, not of a province, but rather of the industries operating inside that province.
I would like to ask Mr. Bigras about the intent of his amendment. Why does he want the limits imposed on plants or companies in a given industry sector to vary from one province to the next?
My second question relates to clause b) of this amendment. Do the provinces not already have the power to take any measure they consider appropriate to limit greenhouse gas emissions? I'm thinking of Quebec, for example, which has already developed and implemented an excellent plan.
Do you not think paragraph b) of your amendment is somewhat unnecessary?
