Senator BROWN (6:45 PM) —It is germane to this piece of legislation because this is one of the opportunities we have to amend and legislate with regard to global warming gases. Can the minister tell the committee what form of mandatory reduction in global warming gases he has in mind. From the shape of that word, it will obviously require legislation to be considered in this place. It will therefore presumably help to make up the shortfall in this piece of legislation. Maybe the minister could indicate to the committee what his schedule is for bringing in mandatory restrictions on the production of global warming gases, how they are going to be implemented and what sort of penalties he is looking at for infractors.
