Emissions Trading Scheme

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his previous answers where he has referred to the United States emissions trading legislation, the Waxman-Markey bill, which has passed the United States House of Representatives but has not yet passed the US Senate. Will the Prime Minister advise this House of the differences between his emissions trading scheme, his CPRS, and the approach of Waxman-Markey to agriculture and why he considers his own CPRS’s approach to agriculture to be superior to that pursued in the United States?
