I do read the newspaper, and so do my constituents. When they see what is going on with this issue, they are concerned. They want to know what the government plans to do. I appreciate that the Premier has laid out his responsibilities very clearly, and I applaud him for that, but what I asked him for was a clear vision. Is it going to be a revenue neutral option, or are we going to see a revenue grab for government to fund clean growth? We need some certainty here that it is not going to unduly impact our economy and take money out of the pockets of Northerners. Can the Premier at least give us some of those assurances? I am not looking for a detailed proposal. I am looking for a broad statement of where the Premier wants this to go, and I appreciate we have to consult. That is an important part of our process, but he has to have some idea of where he wants this to end up.
