Okay. I guess this is for the witnesses again. In the last years we've seen countries like China and India begin to acknowledge the fact that they too need to come on board and have responsibilities in fighting climate change. Canada has been there attempting to work as a bridge builder to demonstrate some leadership to bring others on board. And I think we've finally succeeded, at least to a great degree on that, in having all the large emitters signing on to those international agreements, from the city declaration to the recent agreement in Indonesia as well.
Back in probably November, I got a letter, as I think most of the MPs did here, from the British High Commission. In that letter they were indicating and stressing the importance of having the really big emitters involved, for this was the lead-up to the Bali meetings in Indonesia. So the British High Commission letter was pretty clear. It said, in effect, and specifically, that we needed those big emitters on side.
I guess this is my question to our witnesses. If countries like India and China remained as business as usual, were not drawn in to become a part of this, what effect would Canada's domestic action have on climate change?
