Great. The ideas are welcome.
I would take you to clause 10 and bring you to the four mechanisms that are actually offered in the bill, one of them being “market-based mechanisms such as emissions trading or offsets”.
A confusion I have.... I mean, the list is long, and many years have been spent on this. This issue was first raised by the NDP in 1984 in the House of Commons, for goodness' sake, and Canadians can be forgiven for yet another panel and another bill attempting to set some certainty.
Mr. d'Aquino, you talked about the policy of both this government and previous governments being in a state of chaos and you talked about how there was no overarching plan. You were calling for aggressive action on climate change, a national strategy. Is it that you just don't like the targets in this particular plan? I ask because it is exactly what you asked for: certainty for your business community.
