Yes, but the federal government is accountable to the people who elect them. If funds are used that actually then contribute more greenhouse gases to our environment, would there not be an accountability loop that the federal government would be interested in?
It's not simply to the voters in that particular province. If a province goes out and subsidizes a pipeline because they feel that's justifiable to their own voters, that clearly wouldn't be a happy day for the federal government, which is trying to make strong claims to battle greenhouse gases.
I guess what I'm trying to find out here is this. When we cut the cheques--and I'm not sure that we have yet, because according to some provinces they haven't received any money, after many weeks--if the intention was to reduce greenhouse gases, clearly we would still have kept a little bit of a string on it to say that at the very least, you should be reducing greenhouse gases, but that there would be definitely no projects accepted by the federal government that would increase greenhouse gases in this country.
