I'm trying to answer that. I don't think “do nothing” is in the cards in any future. The question is, how will Canada's emissions reduce? Will they reduce because we transform a vibrant carbon-intensive economy to a vibrant not carbon-intensive economy, or does our economy transform, as Europe has, through offshoring manufacturing?
It's really important to note in the numbers that while Europe's continental greenhouse gas emissions have gone down, Europe's global greenhouse gas footprint has gone up, because Europeans are consuming more fuel, more electricity, more coal, more cars, more appliances, and they're making less.
We don't achieve or contribute to the global objective of global emissions reductions if all we do is what they did. We in Canada actually have to figure out how to do something no other country has done before. I think we can do it, but we have to be staring at real numbers.
