This proposed amendment calls for the expert advisory council to report and provide advice in respect of proposed annual targets - an interim target for 2050 and a final target for 2050. As I have already explained, I do not accept the validity of the inclusion of such domestic targets in the Bill. Therefore, I cannot accept the amendment. As I said earlier, the national mitigation plan will set out the measures that each sector will implement. This is the appropriate place for such measures to be taken.
