QUESTION 1
Putting a price on greenhouse gas pollution

There's a consensus among experts that putting a price on greenhouse gas pollution is a key element of any credible climate plan for Canada, and we have recommended a price level of at least $30 per tonne in 2009. At the same time, countries are heading into the second half of crucial negotiations on the next global climate deal, which is scheduled to wrap up in December 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

How will you ensure that Canada has an adequate price on pollution in effect by December 2009?
