Mr. Burger, I was pleased to hear that you were going to be here, with the breadth of your experience.
We are concerned about Kyoto. We know there are expectations on Canada around reduced domestic greenhouse gases and buying of carbon credits, and of course the export of green technologies and green investments to other countries. Mr. Myers of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters stated recently that buying carbon credits to meet Kyoto standards could cost $25 billion between 2008 and 2012, and that $25 billion, he said, is going offshore and is not going to reduce our own greenhouse gas emissions. He called it a poor use of the money.
I just wonder what your view is on the role of carbon credit buying to keep our Kyoto obligations, to what extent the export of green technology as an investment could help reduce the requirement to buy those credits, and whether there is a win-win situation for us anywhere in this.
