I have no problem in supporting the Kigali amendment and facilitating the passage of this motion as quickly as possible. I know a small bit about CFCs because it is my business. This has been successful but it is very expensive. Arrangements are in place for the recycling of HFCs. In terms of the cost of this, is there a ballpark figure? The Minister said it would be double the cost. There will be a public funding charge. Is the Minister saying that it will be double the original figure? What kind of figures are we talking about? What are the cost implications?
