I'd like to clarify one thing.
Mr. Pasquier and Mr. Séguin, do you feel that the oil and gas sector could self-regulate to reduce emissions without any financial support from the government in the form of subsidies or tax credits, or that instead it will need money from the public coffers?
Generally, the guiding principle in environmental matters is the polluter pays, not the polluter gets paid. What bothers me is that I get the impression in the Canadian strategy, the reverse logic is being applied.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
