Thank you,

Mr. Speaker. Of course I’m interested to look into that issue and get a good base of information. In fact, Minister Bob McLeod and I are heading down to Banff on Thursday, Friday and Saturday to a very important gathering called The Search for Canada-U.S. Climate Change Accord: The Road to Copenhagen and Beyond. One of the working sessions is called Pricing Carbon in a Canada-U.S. Cap and Trade System. So this is an emerging area. I acknowledge that there are other countries doing things of great interest. I will commit to get that base of information so we can have an informed discussion.
