Mr. Walsh stated it would depend on what was contained in the carbon budget and which cycle of carbon budgets we were in, but I would guess that our carbon emission budgets will never increase and they will always be on a trajectory that reduces emissions. There are projects in various stages. Can TII assess each of those and say whether any of them is likely to lead to an increase in the greenhouse gas emissions associated with road traffic as well as an increase in the demand for road use, that being, induced demand?
