We are increasingly moving in the direction of reduced greenhouse gas emissions. According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Expert Panel on Climate Change—which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, as you may recall—all the large emitters of greenhouse gas emissions around the world, including China, India, Canada, the United States and Europe, will have to cap their greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and then reduce them.
Earlier, I was saying that, as regards the oil sands—which are responsible for a much larger number of greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fuels—there are two choices: either we quickly establish emission caps and impose significant reductions to at least bring them down to the level of conventional fuels, or we stop increasing production because we have no idea what to do at this point in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. They are one of the most significant sources of increased greenhouse gas emissions in Canada and have been since 1990. The sky is the limit. This cannot continue.
