I thank both witnesses for presenting today. This question is probably more with regard to Dr. Muinzer's presentation but Mr. Church may also wish to comment. In his opening statement, Dr. Muinzer said he worked on doing analysis of international climate law and essentially came up with a series of key features by which successful climate legislation could be determined. What are those features? How would Dr. Muinzer see this legislation falling in with them? If one looks at the current Bill, which of the key features does it meet and which does it not meet? Could Dr. Muinzer put forward some suggestions as to how it could be tightened up?
