Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I also want to thank the witnesses for their presentations.
Mr. Lazar, you very clearly stated that your industrial sector had significantly reduced its greenhouse gas emissions. You talked about a 60% reduction since the base year of 1990. Furthermore, last week, the Québec Forest Industry Council appeared before a parliamentary committee in order to set targets. Quebec also pointed out that its forest sector had significantly reduced its greenhouse gas emissions. In the paper mill sector, it was 41%, which is quite substantial.
Your industries still use 1990 as the base year, which is different from the federal government, which wants to use 2006 as the base year.
If the government decides to use 2006 as the base year and you have significantly reduced your greenhouse gas emissions since 1990, would you not consider that an unfair approach? What are you looking for as compensation if the federal government decides to use 2006 as the base year?
