The difficulty is that what Dr. Doran has just described is not actually in the proposed Bill. All of the expert witnesses have acknowledged that changing the economic system will involve an extraordinarily radical and momentous effort. There is quite a strong and coherent argument in this country to the effect that we are not ready for change on such a scale, that it clashes with Harvest 2020 and so on. There is a division in industry between those who welcome targets and those do not, and a tension between agriculture and other sectors. There is also the issue of internal burden-sharing. Does Dr. Doran accept that none of these issues is included in the proposed legislation?
