On what government can do in the short term, all levels of government should wring costs out of this system—regulatory costs and process costs. Under the softwood lumber agreement you are not allowed to subsidize industry, so let's just take that as a given and move on.
I think we need to provide for the most competitive policy framework possible for when market recovery does happen. Markets will recover. We will get out of the crisis we're in at the moment.
On the carbon side of things, let me flip it around. Let's not implement a carbon system that's going to make us less competitive. For example, in British Columbia we were going to have a cap and trade system and a carbon tax. The government has indicated that if you are caught by the cap and trade system you will not be caught by the carbon tax. How that's going to work is yet to be known, but it is a difficult challenge to make sure there isn't duplication and overlap in both systems.
In B.C. we're up and running. We're going to have a carbon tax in July and a cap and trade system later on this year. So I would encourage anyone who is interested in how these efforts might work to just keep their telescope on British Columbia, because we seem to be leading the nation in this regard.
