I understand that, but my question was specific. I asked the same question in B.C., and basically their answer was that, yes, the penalty will remain. I'm asking because B.C. just dropped their mandate. They said that it wasn't realistic. I'm sure everybody in this room—and in Canada for that matter—wants to see a cleaner future, but it has to be realistic. The B.C. government is saying now that it has to be realistic.
I like your comments in terms of choice and affordability, but it's not much of a choice if there's a markup in cost to either the retailer or the manufacturer, and that gets passed on to the consumer, so with the rebates, the demand starts to go down.
In B.C., we have a problem with the production and supply of electricity. We're probably one of the greenest provinces in terms of providing electricity, mainly coming from dams, for instance. Site C is going to be producing 1,100 megawatts of electricity, and it's not enough for today's needs, let alone future needs. We have a $6-billion northwest transmission line being built in B.C. as well, from Prince George to Terrace, and that's not enough for current demand, let alone future demand. On top of that, we're actually importing electricity from the United States, which questionably produces their electricity from natural gas and coal.
Has your organization done any investigations into how we can increase the production and supply of clean electricity?
