I would like some clarification on the offsets. What sorts of activities would the minister imagine to be eligible under the domestic offsets program? Could she give some practical examples? Does the minister envisage that activities under the GGAS and NGAS programs, which cease with the CPRS, would be covered and would this program cover landfill gas capture activities? Finally, would this program cover activities currently covered under statewide certificate schemes? I am happy to break those questions up if that would be useful.
