We can say that the economy of Quebec is doing very well. If we look at the indicators, such as the employment rate, we can state that it has practically never done as well. In those conditions, I do not believe that establishing the carbon market had a negative impact on the economy. In fact, the effect is actually positive, even though the challenge for Quebec is greater, in one sense.
Actually, there has been no simple, easy reduction in Quebec because the electricity sector is completely “decarbonized”. This means that the areas we have to tackle in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are more difficult. I am talking about transportation and industry, to a certain extent, although, in recent years, industry has done more than its share to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The impact is positive in the sense that we are succeeding both to reduce emissions and to maintain a healthy economy.
