Thank you, Chair.
So today we've heard expressions of concern from members of the federal Liberal Party that money in the $1.5-billion eco-trust has been given. We've heard from Mr. Shugart that provinces were taken at their word. Mr. Watson has reminded us that $586 million went to Ontario, taking them at their word that they will shut down those dirty coal-fired generating plants.
Canadians are counting on the provinces to live up to the agreement of those dollars, because Canada has a commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by an absolute of 20% by 2020. We're counting on Ontario to be honourable with those dollars that have been entrusted to them to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The other point raised by Mr. Scarpaleggia was on the Liberal carbon tax. He was trying to justify a $62-billion tax—a tax on gasoline, a tax on Canadians to heat their homes, a tax to dry their clothes, a tax on food, a tax on people to drive their cars.
