Our view is this. What we need, first and foremost, is an economy that is moving straight ahead and gaining momentum. We need to develop a plan to deal with carbon. I'm not saying we don't. There is no climate change denier here, but the way we should fund our climate change agenda is through an economy that's moving. We should take revenue from whatever it is, perhaps the economy itself in general, and develop these centres of excellence across the country.
