Thank you, Chair.
I would like to move CPC-9, and hopefully we'll have some support from the committee to actually pass this.
I'll use an example of why we need to really understand the implications of what we're doing. We know there is a climate emergency and that we need to take action. For example, if our action causes all of our agricultural industry to shut down and creates starvation, understanding the implications of our actions is absolutely critical.
We had a number of witnesses who spoke for including some economic analysis in terms of what we're doing, including the minister. Let me quote from him:
The focus needs to be on ensuring that we actually understand what science tells us we need to do to ensure this world is a liveable [place], and [to do] that in a manner that takes into account economic and social [as to] how we actually make the progress.
I could go on, but I will be respectful of the committee's time. I have four pages here of testimony from witnesses. As you know, we didn't have a lot of witnesses, but they all supported the idea of a government making decisions with a full understanding of what they're making decisions about.
Again, I hope that perhaps, unlike our other amendments, we might see support for this, because it will make it a better bill.
Thank you.
