Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Commissioner, I want to thank you for being here today. I have two questions, one which is of a general nature, and the other, more specific.
Commissioner, I recall that we had a discussion in the spring at this Committee with respect with your 2005 Report. Some of the troubling issues are mentioned once again, and therefore, I find it rather amusing when I hear my colleague talking about an improvement in the last two years. You particularly emphasize the lack of leadership as explaining the poor results we are seeing today.
In that regard, how do you explain the five points you raised in paragraph 25 of your presentation? Billions of dollars have been invested, particularly to reduce greenhouse gases, and yet there are no results. Is that reflected in these five points? Are they a solution we should be paying particular attention to, so that the money invested finally leads to concrete result?
