As you know, Mr. McGuinty, I've always been in favour of putting some price on carbon. In fact, in the past I have proposed, with Nancy Olewiler, carbon taxation. I think it's a better system than a cap and trade system, although with that I know there is a large amount of discussion and debate even among experts about the choices between the two. But if one is going to price carbon, I do see value to putting in a regime that would be a carbon tax, rather than trying to use ad hoc rules and regulations to try to deal with, let's say, carbon-reducing issues.
