I would like to ask you another question about the clean development mechanisms.
You have said two things this morning. First, that we need to facilitate projects such as those put forward in the context of the clean development mechanisms. Finally, a third-party audit is required to assess the effectiveness of this mechanism provided for under the Kyoto Protocol. So you are telling us today that you are blowing hot and cold.
If you continue to have confidence in the clean development mechanisms, assuming that you hope that there will be a third-party audit, of course, how can you explain that Canada is the worst country internationally as regards its contribution to clean development mechanisms?
Could you tell the committee how far behind Canada is in its payments to the international community, to the bodies that manage the clean development mechanisms?
How much does Canada owe, and how does it rank compared to other countries as regards its contributions to these mechanisms?
