Presumably, the government has budgeted to make sure that it delivers all of its environmental obligations. If it does, there will be no additional costs incurred.</p>",

On peut donc supposer que le gouvernement a pr\u00e9vu le budget n\u00e9cessaire pour s'acquitter de toutes ses obligations environnementales. S'il l'a fait, il n'y aura aucun co\u00fbt additionnel \u00e0 pr\u00e9voir.</p>"
