When I had my family here the first time I was first elected, the first thing they did, too, was to collect maple leaves off the lawn.
I want to talk about an article you had on your website called “The Challenge of Managing Carbon Emissions in Saskatchewan’s Mining and Mineral Sector”. My understanding is that it was posted as a response to the Liberal government's recent announcement that they may well impose a federal carbon tax on provinces if they don't meet their emissions targets.
You come from Saskatchewan, where your premier has been vehemently opposed to a carbon tax. You've also done some work in your industry to reduce your GHG emissions on your own through industry, without having to have emissions targets or caps imposed on you.
Could you talk a little about what the negative impacts on your industry would be if a federal carbon tax were imposed? Is this something that your industry has talked about? If your premier has said that he does not want a carbon tax provincially, what would it mean if a federal carbon tax were imposed on your province and your industry?
