Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses.
I think we're into some very interesting discussion here. I have a number of questions. I'm afraid I'm not going to have enough time to ask them. But I want to start with the targets, because this bill is predominantly about targets.
We've heard that they're scientific targets, reflecting, of course, the IPCC's targets—targets that were assigned, though, interestingly enough, only to developed countries. There was a decision made not to model targets for developing countries, and that decision was not based on scientific considerations—that is, whether there was enough data to quantify them—but on a values judgment. So the discussion about scientific targets in this particular bill has to be questioned on whether they are entirely based on science.
I agree that there is a problem here, but there is a legitimate discussion for policy-makers in this country about what Canadian targets should look like and whether or not we should be putting pressure on developing countries to assume targets. That's based on values decisions, so I think that is an important component of this.
But since we're here about the economics, Mr. Sawyer, every economic modelling is based, of course, on the assumptions you're putting in, and what you put in determines what you're going to get out of your analysis.
I want to ask you a sector-specific question. Have you done any modelling on effects to the auto industry, for example, and would you be prepared to if you haven't?
