Transport committee  Is that a sophisticated way of saying a carbon tax?

Transport committee  I'm not understanding what you're saying.

Transport committee  You're not talking about carbon; you're just talking about NOx and SOx and mercury in particulate.

Transport committee  There is a difference between Canada and the U.S. The electricity regulation that is supposedly coming down that was in the Canada Gazette talked about CO2 emissions but did not talk about NOx, SOx, and mercury, whereas the EPA is actually looking at the NOx, SOx, and mercury in

Transport committee  They're already starting.

Transport committee  The U.S. has a tremendous supply of natural gas. We're down in our natural gas exports to the U.S. because Canada has a big supply and the U.S. has a big supply. That's where we're looking at Kitimat in terms of exporting LNG to the Asian markets. The Prime Minister did a good jo

Transport committee  I don't have those numbers.

Transport committee  We might be able to.

Transport committee  No, we haven't done that. We're trying to facilitate the conversation around natural gas, but in terms of looking at the specifics, we haven't been involved.

Transport committee  I think that would be something to take a look at. Again, in each province utilities for the consumer are orchestrated a little differently from the way they are for a station. I think you'd have to take a look at that. We'd certainly have to take a look at that.

Transport committee  I'm not sure why they would want to do that. Basically, you are looking at the volume of natural gas and how it is transferred, whether it's to your barbecue or your vehicle. There certainly isn't enough of a market right now on the home refuelling side.

Transport committee  In my presentation, I alluded to marine engines and rail operating on LNG right now.There are at least 26 marine vessels operating on LNG, and there are more to come. That's for two reasons: the environmental footprint and the cost. It is happening, and it's certainly happening i

Transport committee  I can't comment on GO and I'm under a confidentiality agreement with an individual company. I can only tell you that there are companies looking at LNG because the price is right and the environmental footprint is lower.

Transport committee  In tractor-trailers, it's roughly a 30% decrease in carbon dioxide emissions. The big thing, again, is really looking at NOx, SOx, mercury, and particulate, and the EPA is looking at the particulate, particularly in the north. Look at that dark cloud cover on the ice up there; t

Transport committee  Mr. Chair, there are so many OEMs manufacturing transit buses now that it really has been the low-hanging fruit for a lot of jurisdictions, particularly in places like L.A.
