Environment committee  The issue of carbon tariffs goes to what is and is not possible within the WTO. I mean, China's essential trade obligations are its WTO obligations--which it sometimes doesn't always respect; nonetheless, that is the trading framework. With respect to the issue of carbon taxes,

Environment committee  Monsieur Bigras, thank you for your question. From our point of view, the reference point is what is happening at the sectoral level between ourselves and our U.S. counterparts in terms of what the regulatory obligation will be.
