Thank you very much. My question is now for Mr. Steeves, from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
In your brief, there was an inset on climate change. I liked that because when we told the government in the House that Canada's inability to meet the Kyoto targets would lead to environmental disaster, their response was: “Yes, but going ahead would lead to an economic disaster for all intents and purposes”. Finally, several Quebeckers and more and more Canadians believe the opposite, that not taking serious responsibility for the issue of climate change will lead to economic disaster.
Do you have any numbers reflecting the costs you spoke about? Can you give us an idea? What would Canada's and the international community's lack of action on climate change represent?
