Here's what the concern is. This is why your position is concerning. In October, in question period, you admitted what Conservatives have been warning about the carbon tax for the entire time: that the 80% to 95% exemption from the carbon tax you've granted for large emitters—and you've said this—is “to stay competitive and keep good jobs in Canada.”
If these businesses, according to your analysis.... We agree that it's the risk of your carbon tax: that you will do economic harm to Canada without reducing emissions and will drive businesses and jobs out of Canada. If your argument is that those businesses will shut down if they pay more than 5% of your carbon tax, then how do you justify the dramatic and multiple times more cost of your Liberal new fuel standard for those same companies?
