Statement made on 22 April 2010 by Senator Grant Mitchell
Hon. Grant Mitchell:
Honourable senators, the Minister of the Environment has been saying, I want to say "encouraging things," but I have yet to have it confirmed that they are actually encouraging. He said recently that, "We are prepared for a cap and trade system; that we have done the analytics and we are set to go."
Just so this does not end up being a hypothetical question, could the Leader of the Government in the Senate tell us about these analytics and table in the Senate any documentation that outlines them?
