This is really important because I think there has been some misleading fake news from the Conservative Party. We put out a study with estimates that said a national price on pollution that meets the federal standard would eliminate 80 to 90 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

That's a critical piece in our making sure that Canada meets its emission reduction targets but also grows a clean economy.
