Are we ready to move past this division? We're not.
Before we go to Mr. Kmiec, I think it's important to put some facts on the table regarding the systems in the United States that we discussed earlier. The Ontario and Quebec systems are based on cap and trade, which has been in place in California for a long time. I do think it's interesting that yesterday it became, I believe, the fifth-largest economy with a cap-and-trade system in place. There is a mandatory cap-and-trade program in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
There's an impression being left that this is just us. There's a lot of stuff happening at state level in the United States—maybe not at the federal level. I just think it's important for us all to realize that it is happening in the United States, which is our biggest competitor and our closest neighbour, and the fact that California, yesterday, just became the world's fifth-largest economy, I think is important to note.
Mr. Kmiec.
