Allow me to be clear. On October 6, 2009, I believe Minister Prentice was speaking to the Canadian Council of Chief Executives. On that day he stated that North American economic integration requires harmonization and that Canada would set up its own cap-and-trade market, and that this government would phase in measures in alignment with the development of the proposed U.S. system. For that reason, the Soil Conservation Council of Canada is a member of the industry provincial offset group and working with folks like TransAlta, Shell, and whoever else. We're currently on a conference call. A North American working group proposal is being looked at, because the 49th parallel really only matters to Rand McNally. He needs to know where to draw it. The glaciers didn't recognize it.
On November 5th, 2009. See this statement in context.
