I have a question, I guess, from this. I find it a little bit strange and a little peculiar why we would be committing ourselves to something in the future, not knowing what that agreement will be, the Convention on Climate Change, and what those targets would be.
Just on a personal basis, when I'm involved in some kind of agreement to buy an acreage, to buy whatever it happens to be, and then I'm making agreements that down the road there are these unforeseen, unknown things, whatever they happen to be, I'm agreeing to that too, and I don't have a clue what it is. I would never sign a document to that effect. I think most people in Canada would not.
I find it really more than odd, and rather dangerous, I guess would be the better word, in terms of why we would do that at this juncture when we don't know exactly what this will commit us to, subjecting ourselves, as we sit here.... We're signing a blank cheque is in effect what occurred.
I would like to ask the members if there may be some better way they would choose to qualify it. But simply to say that we're agreed to reduce, subject to those targets identified by the UNFCCC, I don't think is a wise or a prudent course of action for us. I think the Canadian public would see it that way, because by and large, I don't think they get into the kind of scenario that we're doing here.
If it's a house agreement, if it's a personal agreement of any sort, signing off on unforeseen speculative things down the road is not a wise thing to do.
