Mr. Robert Watt:

I have read the report. I have been involved in climate issues for 20 years. I worked for the European Commission a good many years ago on the ETS and carbon tax and on other initiatives. I am well aware of the issue. Nobody should downplay or trivialise the challenge we face. I have seriously engaged with this committee for the past two hours, as has Secretary General Moran. I am happy to do it another time and provide a briefing. We have been fairly upfront and honest about our views. We have set out where we think we need to go on policy. It involves difficult decisions and policy choices, and that is for political leadership. It is nor for myself and Mr. Moran. We are here to provide advice and to implement policy and that is what we do. There is a wider political challenge that has to be addressed.
