Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Professor Popp, my riding is in southern Alberta. I was reading a memo that you put out regarding your meetings with Ontario and Alberta, and I noticed that several of the five recommendations you put forward to those provincial governments included a carbon price. Our concern, with the United States now backing away from following through with a carbon tax, is how does Canada remain competitive? Do you see the United States, for example, falling behind in innovation and technological advancements when it comes to clean tech? They are not going to have a carbon tax. Does this show that the United States will be falling further behind?
