Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a question for Mr. Cameron.
In your introduction, you mentioned at the outset that the leadership is yet to come. That's true. We must implement mechanisms that, if they work well, enable us to become leaders. I fully agree with you. We can't say that we're leaders, since we're at the start of the process.
Most of the witnesses talked a great deal about British Columbia's success with the carbon tax on greenhouse gas emissions. I'm not sure whether I've understood this issue correctly—I'm not an expert—but I read an analysis on the National Energy Board's website dated December 27, 2017. The analysis states that British Columbia's greenhouse gas emissions were at their lowest level in 2009. There were increases until 2014, a decrease in 2015 and a further increase in 2016. However, emissions have never been lower than the 2009 level.
We're following a model, and you're praising British Columbia's carbon tax. However, the documents that I consulted suggest that it's not completely true that greenhouse gas emissions have decreased in British Columbia.
Can you talk about this?
