One of the documents we each received was from the Library of Parliament, which provided a chart under table 1, starting with 1990 as the benchmark. We've all seen the projected increases in greenhouse gas emissions. We saw greenhouse gas emissions increase dramatically under the former government, to the point now, according to this chart, where we are 29% above the 1990 level, while the target the previous government signed Canada onto was 6% below the 1990 levels. We've heard the previous government did not have an intent or even the support to meet those targets. There was a lot of rhetoric included with those commitments from Canada to meet those targets, but that could be deemed a political comment.
Where we find ourselves now is 35% above that target. We've seen greenhouse gas emissions continue on an upward climb. I'm repeating what I said before, but there seems to be some confusion on intensity and absolutes, so I want to confirm that, over the last number of years, we have seen greenhouse gas emissions increase. In the modelling and the framework, the plan that's being presented, which needs to be supported, I believe, is that there will be absolute targets. The increasing greenhouse gas emissions will be stopped and we will have absolute reductions. They will be going down instead of climbing. Is that correct?
