Senator Quinn referred to the French Government's decision in regard to a carbon tax. I believe the Senator may be slightly misinformed in that the French Government did propose the introduction of a carbon tax, which was not really a carbon tax, but it was struck down in the French court as unconstitutional because it was being applied in an unequal manner. The French have now decided not to go ahead with the proposal as planned.

Senator Bacik asked about the climate change legislation. I do not have a date for when it will be published but I know the Bill is well progressed. I will try to get specific information on the matter for Senator Bacik.
