Madam Speaker, that is two questions.
First of all, the automotive industry must not be confused with the major final emitters. The auto industry is not one of them, because the emissions are not produced by the auto industry in the manufacture of automobiles, but by the consumer products, the cars and trucks. This is why we are trying to conclude a voluntary agreement with the auto industry.
Moving to the second element of the question, California tried the voluntary route and moved on to the regulatory when no voluntary agreement was forthcoming. This is exactly the same approach as Canada is taking. We are quite confident that we will not have to resort to regulations because we will have concluded a voluntary agreement, as has Europe. It may well work.
In the past, we have sometimes used the regulatory approach and sometimes the voluntary. We know both can work. The advantage of the voluntary approach is that it is far less complicated to administer. Very often, voluntary agreements concluded with the auto industry have yielded excellent results. That is what we are working on at the moment. I would ask the opposition not to interfere in these negotiations because, if they are successful, it will be good news for all Canadians.
