We have not discounted the fact that everybody is looking at carbon pricing or moving to a low-carbon economy. In our view, we can reduce our carbon emissions and our greenhouse gas emissions without having to introduce carbon pricing mechanisms, whether it be a carbon tax. We've already shown that it can be done. We've reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent since 2005 levels. We have indicated that to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister has said that he's prepared to work with us to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, and it remains to be seen what form that will take.
As I've said before in this House, we are prepared to go out this summer. We will ask the people of the Northwest Territories if they are willing to have a carbon tax, because we already live in a very high-cost part of Canada, and I don't think we should be penalized for where we live. We think we should have a very similar standard of living as the rest of Canada, and we're a very small population. Certainly if the population of the Northwest Territories wants to have a carbon tax, then that's what we will be consulting on, as well as what form our climate change strategy should take.
