Thank you.
I want to move from my questions on the environment and energy and where we go from here to some of the processes that had existed. I'll go to Mr. d'Aquino on this.
Some of us are very critical—no news here—about the SPP. I don't get a sense that it's going anywhere. We had Mr. Hart here at the committee recently, who basically said, “So what? It's fine. Don't worry about it.”
The reason that many people were upset was the process. It seems we have a government, in the States at least, that says they want to do things differently. Would you acknowledge that if you're going to talk about shared responsibilities, which is what was purported to be in regulation, it might be a better idea to do it in the light of day?
We didn't have any insight. There was much more debate in this country on free trade because we knew what was on the table. Insofar as explaining the SPP to my constituents is concerned, taking out all the politics—which was plenty on both sides, I admit that—I couldn't tell them anything in terms of what's in there. There was no document to say here's what's in it; let's see if it's something we should accept or not.
Would you acknowledge, though, that the process was problematic?
