We're discussing this bill, but at the time this particular act was presented, around two or three years ago, you and I and all Ontario MPs were not subject to lobbying on this because the government of the day had presented its own carbon pricing mechanism. Knowing that climate is different and weather is different from region to region, do you not believe that we should be asking the provinces to implement such a system as a carbon mechanism, especially now that the U.S. has signed on to the Paris Agreement, so that we don't have to bring an “Ottawa knows best” approach?
