First of all, Mr. McGuinty, thank you for that question.
Part of this is factual and part of this is interpretive. I'm not presuming to take any stand, which is really the right of the Parliament of Canada in determining the nature of the plan or the plans that have been presented by the government.
I have to come back to the details in terms of our own report and our work from that, and our response from the minister. I understand that earlier this year..... I understand there was another announcement yesterday and that there are series of announcements coming forward at this time.
The minister has assured us that the work we have done, both in our policy report and our technical report, is being very carefully assessed by the government. For instance, we argued very strongly in our report for the importance of an offset system for cap and trade. The government is proceeding on that. There were announcements earlier this year with regard to part of what that offset system would look like. We see this as an ongoing process in which leading up to Copenhagen and beyond, and with the negotiations with the United States, the government will be proceeding.
I'm trying to select my words carefully, sir, because I'm very cognizant that we don't operate in a political context.
