Carbon pricing is clearly a key part of the first ministers' process; the first ministers all endorse carbon pricing.
I have actually had discussions with Canadian business, and they ask us to please go ahead with carbon pricing because it is the most efficient mechanism to reduce emissions and to foster innovation. In fact, we already have an internal price on carbon.
Just last week before I went to Washington where I spoke—Canada is a member of the Carbon Pricing Leadership coalition—the Mining Association of Canada endorsed carbon pricing. I should point out that the members of the Mining Association of Canada that called for carbon pricing include Suncor and Shell. This is clearly a signal from the business community in Canada that this is something we should be doing.
Internationally there's a lot of good progress.
I should also talk about the leadership of the provinces. With the leadership of the provinces, more than 80% of Canadians will be living in a jurisdiction that has or will have a price for carbon. Currently, B.C. and Alberta have a tax. Ontario will be joining with Quebec and California in a cap-and-trade system.
We already have carbon pricing, so I think the question is how we ensure that it's across the country and that it actually reduces carbon pollution.
