Certainly at the federal level. We are one of the only countries—and certainly one of the rare OECD countries—not to have a national public transit policy, unlike France, Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries. As for the transportation sector which, I should point out, produces approximately 25% of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions, we have no national vision there. In some provinces and municipalities—like Vancouver, which is doing fantastic work, and Montreal, which is doing fairly well—some interesting initiatives are underway. In Alberta, municipalities like Calgary and Edmonton have launched very innovative projects. However, there is no national strategy or vision in that area. We need to reform the federal tax system. Why? Because at the present time, the tax system provides a much greater incentive for investments in fossil fuels—traditional, conventional or non-conventional fuels, such as the oil sands—than in renewable energy.
As I said earlier at the end of my opening statement, we are one of the rare countries, if not the only OECD country, not to have a renewable energy incentive program. Canada was offering a wind energy credit that was only one third of what was available in the United States under George Bush. We're not talking about Barack Obama; we're talking about George W. Bush, that leading light of the socialist left wing.
