To be clear, we don't conduct academic research on the issue. We look at [Technical difficulty—Editor] examples and opportunities for our clients to make strategic decisions across their operations if they are private sector, or other decisions if they are from the public and [Technical difficulty—Editor] sectors. I will say that I was interested to hear that statement a few minutes ago about emissions going up. It was contrary to the story I heard from Nobel Prize laureate Nordhaus, and I was just looking to see what the actual numbers showed. Doing a quick analysis just now, I note that both per capita emissions and overall emissions in B.C. have been reduced relative to those from 2008, with a slight blip in increased emissions between 2011 and 2013, as per the provincial statistics. That's not a research project in and of itself, and I'd like to look into that issue a little bit more. To me, blips and increases over an annual or biannual period don't necessarily mean that a program isn't working. Also, I would say that a ten-year platform showing a general reduction overall seems to be an interesting data point to look at.
