Yes, thank you very much.
To go back to your presentation this afternoon, a few statements in there are surprising. Let me mention a few. You think that the Canadian climate policy is most effectively approached as a long-term problem requiring long-term solutions, not short-term fixes or top-down target-setting. I am a bit surprised to read that.
You also mentioned in your report that greenhouse gas emission reduction targets need to be underpinned by relevant and rigorous economic analysis and assessment to show whether the proposed targets can be achieved within the regulatory timeframes, and so on.
Mr. Page, about your reports, how much do you take scientific evidence into consideration when you are making recommendations to the government? I find it a bit strange that the roundtable is putting proposals before the government without taking into account the scientific evidence to the effect that industrialized countries should set their targets so that the increase in temperature will be limited to 2 degrees Celsius compared to the preindustrial era. I am trying to find in you presentation this afternoon a statement that Canada should base its target setting on scientific evidence. I can understand economic analyses are needed, but should we not also take scientific evidence into account?
