Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  No, I think that actually answers my questions. Thank you very much.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I just want to clarify what you said. You said the targets will be more stringent than those set in July 2005. Did I hear you right?

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  So there are targets that are set, short, medium, and long, and those are set through the notice of intent.

Environment committee  Thank you, Chair. Mr. McGuinty, Mr. Cullen, and myself were asked this question on Friday, and we had a healthy dialogue as we debated the issue when we were being interviewed on CBC.
