Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's important to note that this is going to second reading. It's important to note that, you know, we have committees that do important work. I think, you know, in this case I think there's enough information required, no matter what your opinion is or what -- how if you think that, you know, the bill is appropriate, if you think that the existing system is working better, I know there are concerns. I have concerns whether or not how it's going to affect the mineral industry. The mineral industry right now, as my colleague has said, has based their operations on the existing large emitter program. Is the fed's system better than that; will that make a difference? I know there are pieces of the new bill that are addressing that but are they enough? So I think, in my opinion, given this is going to second reading, I support it going to second reading, I support it going to committee, I support getting more information on this, to hearing it out, and to allow the committee to do its work so when it comes to third reading I can make a decision that I feel is an informed decision and a right decision.
