tions across different provinces and you're going to have a very difficult time creating a true market price because you will have an Alberta market price and possibly a B.C. or Quebec market price for different greenhouse gas credits, or on a tax basis," he says. And, just as there are concerns over
carbon tax, there are also problems in- herent in implementing a cap-and-trade system, says Andersen. "How do you de- termine what the level of greenhouse gas emissions, or conversely credits, a facil- ity or a type of activity generates? That's going to vary across all sorts of indus- tries and all sorts of facilities. "So you have to get parties to agree
on how you measure that and how of- ten you measure that. Then there's a sig- nificant cost component in terms of actually determining what your emis- sions or credits are going to be on not only an initial basis but on an ongoing basis," he says. "What those costs are and how you get there are far from clear right now."
