I think it's important for us to have this discussion. When I received the documents, I was definitely wondering if the officials or the government had intentionally misunderstood the request that had been made. We want the data showing how the government came to the conclusion about one-third of Canada's emissions.
Especially when it comes to the industrial carbon price, this is a critical policy. I am someone who wants a robust climate policy. This committee deserves to have the data off of which the government is working.
In the spirit of collaboration, and to bring everyone around this table together, I have a motion that the committee order the production of the model and data from ECCC that demonstrate that carbon pollution pricing will contribute as much as one-third of Canada's emissions reductions, and that these documents be provided to the committee within two weeks of the adoption of this motion.
I'm not sure if I can move this right now, but I'm hopeful that we can have this discussion. I will move that motion afterwards, so that we can get the information we need, and that committee members deserve to have.
There is a very valid complaint that the Conservatives are raising today. I don't know if it's a question of privilege, yet, but I would potentially support a question of privilege if the government, yet again, refuses to give us the information we need.
