Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all the witnesses for your testimony before this committee.
I've been a big proponent of trying to put incentives in place, if you would, to be able to develop the technology that would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions around the world, not just right here in Canada, so I'm very pleased to hear your presentation today, Mr. McMillan, in regard to the impacts of the high emissions in other areas of the world. I believe that for our 1.6% we should do everything we can to get it to zero as well.
Can you expand on your comments? If we do the very best thing that we can do in our own zone here and reduce it, if we cut it in half, say, to 0.8% or something like that, are we in fact not allowing other areas of the world to fill in the gap? You're saying that they may do it with coal and they may do it with high-carbon energy as opposed to the low-carbon energy that we have.
