Environment committee  But you're missing the.... I'm not going to get into a debate with you, Mr. Rivers—

Environment committee  I'm going to ask you to be quiet now because I have the floor. We're not in a debate. The question was, do we need to have a global reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to meet our global targets? The answer is yes. How do we get there? Do we get there by Canada doing its fair

Environment committee  Is Canada already doing its fair share? Absolutely.

Environment committee  We would disagree on that. Mr. Cameron, you said that, per capita, Canada is probably number one in the world. How is that calculated? Is it based on how much we emit in Canada or by the production of the products that we export? It's not. It's calculated, I believe, in a way th

Environment committee  Does it include our sequestration?

Environment committee  It doesn't. It does not include sequestration for Canada, the arboreal forest—it does not include that.

Environment committee  It includes all the emissions of the production of oil and gas that we export out of Canada. Is that not true? All the emissions...what we export out of Canada.

Environment committee  I stand to be corrected. Coming from British Columbia....

Environment committee  Talking about agriculture, we had canola as a witness here a couple of weeks ago. It was before Christmas, a couple of meetings ago. They have reduced their emissions based on no-till. Production is way up and they're world leaders. They're talking about the carbon tax encouragin

Environment committee  How much time do I have left?

Environment committee  I come from British Columbia, where the price on carbon was $30 and it went up to $35. It's no longer revenue-neutral. It's revenue-generated from British Columbia. Emissions in British Columbia—and I've lived there my whole life—were going down, for multiple reasons, but I belie

Environment committee  Thank you. It's been a very interesting discussion. I agree with a number of things that have been said by the panel, but not with the ultimate conclusions. It's interesting that we see the same evidence and we come up with different conclusions . We do have a changing climate

Environment committee  Thank you, Chair. The purpose of this is to hear from experts on the issue of putting a price on carbon. We're not here at this meeting, and it was not the mandate of the committee, to ask the panellists to critique different political positions, particularly going into an elect

Environment committee  I would suggest that his questions are not in order. It's not the mandate of the committee to ask the witnesses to provide a critique on the political positions of the major parties. That's not what this study is for, and I believe his questions are out of order, which would be a

Environment committee  Thank you.
