Thirty-five miles per gallon is the standard for the new U.S. reform CAFE, and that has to be achieved in two vehicle product cycles. If we harmonized with that type of regulation, for example, it would send a very definite price signal to the auto industry, one I don't have a specific number for. I don't know whether that's something you could model. That will affect transportation choices for Canadians: vehicle choice, materials, technologies, manufacturing locations, and changes to collective bargaining agreements potentially. There are a lot.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"912096\" data-originallang=\"en\">What I'm getting at, in terms of economic modelling, is that if you want to capture costs, there are a lot of costs that could be captured in here. Are some of those things addressed? Those are additional corollary things that we have to consider.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"912094\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"912095\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne les signaux de prix, restons dans le secteur automobile un moment. Aux termes du CAFE r\u00e9cemment modifi\u00e9, la norme de 35 milles au gallon doit \u00eatre r\u00e9alis\u00e9e sur deux cycles de vie du v\u00e9hicule. Si on harmonisait notre r\u00e9glementation avec celle-l\u00e0, par exemple, le signal de prix, que je ne peux vous donner, serait tr\u00e8s clair et pr\u00e9cis pour le secteur automobile. Je me demandais si vous pouvez mod\u00e9liser cela. Cela aurait une incidence sur les choix que feraient les Canadiens en mati\u00e8re de transport: choix du v\u00e9hicule, celui des mat\u00e9riaux, des technologies, de l'emplacement des usines et peut-\u00eatre m\u00eame que cela entra\u00eenerait des modifications aux conventions collectives. Les effets se feraient sentir \u00e0 bien des \u00e9gards.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"912096\" data-originallang=\"en\">Autrement dit, dans un mod\u00e8le \u00e9conomique, si vous voulez v\u00e9ritablement \u00e9valuer les co\u00fbts, vous pourriez inclure beaucoup de choses. En avez-vous tenu compte? Avez-vous tenu compte de ces corollaires?</p>"
