So aside from the economic costs to business that were outlined in the Stern report and others if climate change is not acted upon—there are costs to not doing things—the market has since doubled, in 2007, up to $68 billion. If Canada doesn't have a verifiable way of measuring our greenhouse gas emissions, not only is Canada unable to negotiate with other countries as to what their commitments would be, because we can't stand there, but Canadian companies also don't have access either to a North American trading scheme or to a European one. Is that, with the evidence put forward, correct? Is my logic following the right path here?
