I will turn to the first theme of my questions, to all four of you this morning. All of you, directly or obliquely, referred to the need for national coherence and then you talked about continental coherence. I presume you're implying international coherence. Can you tell us how your sectors are reacting to this reality?
Someone mentioned that Quebec and B.C. have carbon taxes. Ontario is about to bring in emissions trading legislation; it will be joining the western climate initiative with other provinces. We have a 20% target from 1990 levels in Quebec, a 15% target in Ontario, a 13% target in British Columbia, and targets in virtually every province. Targets for eight of the provinces, when you average out their actual emission reduction targets, are 14% below 1990 levels from 2020.
When you call for coherence in Canada, the reality is—and I think you've all said this—that your own sectors have already met the Kyoto targets and beyond. Can you tell us how you expect the government to move forward now that we have, virtually, your sectors going it alone, provinces going it alone, and emissions trading systems being designed and finalized through the WCI and through the northeastern governors organization, for example? Can you tell us how you're going to deal with this incoherence that, by the way, has all happened in the last 46 months—all of it—since the arrival of the Conservative government? All of these measures have been brought in since their arrival. As a result of what we, in the official opposition, now describe as absolutely no leadership, your sectors are now going to be penalized, according to your own testimony, because we have provinces and sectors going it alone.
What would you recommend happen now, especially as we're about 10 days away from final texts being presented to 192 governments in Copenhagen who hope to ink—ink—at least the legal framework for a binding treaty? What's your advice to the government on how to move forward?
