Thank you, Mr President; I am responding to a proposition in the question. In response to that, I would make the point that Britain is expected to have a carbon price of $24 to $30 a tonne, this is over the next few years; Sweden, $130 a tonne; Switzerland, $30 to $60; Norway, $53; and Ireland $24 to $37 a tonne. Of course, the scheme that is most expensive is the one that is proposed by those opposite.
