Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
If there is one thing that we must not do in this climate change action plan, it is to take action on a silo basis. If we do not want to do this, we have to ensure that the Department of Environment and the Department of Natural Resources sit around the same table. It seems to me that this is important. We cannot talk about objectives to reduce greenhouse gases on the one hand and, on the other hand, set this issue aside and have another discussion with the Department of Natural Resources about big industrial emitters or energy policy.
It seems to me that there must be some integration between the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Canada. I would like to ask Natural Resources Canada some questions. How do we go about asking certain industrial sectors to reduce greenhouse gases and how is all of that integrated into the objectives of greenhouse gas reduction as set out in the climate change action plan?
I am not trying to blame you, Mr. Chairman. I am not saying that you did not do your homework. I think that you have done what you could. Nevertheless, if we are to have a very integrated approach, it seems to me that representatives from both departments should sit down together. This is not some attempt at confrontation with each other, but it is rather to better understand how Natural Resources Canada fits in with the proposals made by Environment Canada.
