Thank you.
First of all, regarding the reference to the price on carbon, particularly when the revenues from the price on carbon are refunded to Canadians, it's hard to see what net impact that has on the real purchasing power of Canadians. I suspect it's negligible.
Certainly the run-up in energy prices that we have seen in this period has everything to do with global futures market speculation. The world supply of oil was not actually affected by the war in Ukraine. World oil supply, including supply from Russia, has increased, not decreased. Yet the way futures markets work, and the way our energy policy in Canada works, the resulting spike in prices was translated into Canadian consumers very quickly. That was all profit because the actual price of producing that energy in Canada, refining it, and distributing it to consumers did not change much at all.
