I appreciate this is getting a little bit beyond procurement, but since I have all these international trade experts before me, I am wondering about the feasibility of generally applying Canada's carbon price to the carbon content of imports and rebating it on Canadian exports. Right now, we apply the goods and services tax in our own economy. We also apply it to the value of imports coming in, and we rebate it on the value of exports going out. Would it be possible under international trade agreements to do the same thing with carbon pricing?
