The point I'm getting at, Mr. Tirpak and Dr. Peace, is that you said a moment ago, Dr. Peace, that in one of the most optimistic scenarios, it wouldn't be until 2012 or 2013 that the U.S. could get a cap-and-trade system up and running. Then, Mr. Tirpak, you're saying that connecting this cap-and-trade system with the Canadian system based on intensity targets would require even more effort. So on this North American system that the government is touting constantly as the magic bullet for the problem of climate change, we could be looking at something in Canada, or on the North American scale, that wouldn't really be functioning for quite a few years.
