Thank you.
However, I did want to call you out, Minister, on the hypocrisy of your remarks.
You began by sanctimoniously suggesting that climate change is a non-partisan issue, and then you embarked upon a bit of a tirade against Conservatives and Andrew Scheer, as did your two colleagues here, Mr. Amos and Mr. Bossio. How is climate change a non-partisan issue when you immediately spend the next 15 minutes attacking your opponents, those who disagree with you on the merits of a carbon tax? We happen to believe that a carbon tax will not get us to where we need to go. We don't believe that you can tax your way to a clean environment; however, you're entitled to disagree. If you consider us to be partisan, but not you, that's a bit of a joke.
So I wanted to call you out on that: if you really believe that climate change is a non-partisan issue, then you should act that way.
Now let me get straight into the question on the carbon tax.
Your government signed on to the Paris Agreement and promised to meet Canada's agreed-upon targets. Are you on track to meet Canada's 2030 emissions targets?
