I guess my point is that we recognize.... I agree we need a sustainable effort to go forward. I want to look at the environmental benefit, but I also want to look at the economic benefit, the green economy and other things we're trying to put in force to enable us to improve economic circumstances, environmental circumstances and social benefit. There is a benefit when all of this comes to be.
We can look backwards. We can go back to the days of coal plants in Ontario, for example. When we decarbonized our system, we got part of the cap and trade initiative. We became part of the western climate initiative, alongside Quebec, and we were taking advantage of a great benefit to reduce emissions and climate impacts on society and local communities. That's what Canada is trying to do in part of the overall Paris Agreement. Those are the efforts we're trying to proceed with. Measures are being taken and enacted. There are things we can do to improve upon this. That's why we have internal audits. That's why we make these efforts. That's why we rely on people like you, the experts in this area, to guide us and provide some direction on how to proceed in a better way.
The question is this: Is it not appropriate, then, to take measures, audits and reviews to sustain and support the program? Others believe there should be no program. Others are assuming there is no climate change. Others are saying we should just go back to the glory days of coal plants, emissions and manufacturing without looking at alternatives.
Mr. DeMarco, can you give us your impressions on what we should do, going forward? Is it not appropriate to do what we're doing?
