Thank you. I couldn't agree more with the notion that we're all in this together. Climate change doesn't care what colour your lawn signs are. It affects us all—but I won't say equally. It certainly does affect already more vulnerable people more than it does others.
This question is for all three of you, with perhaps Professor Dietsch going first. Most people agree with the notion that runaway carbon emissions are largely responsible for climate change and extreme weather, and understand that oil and gas producing nations like Canada need to reduce our emissions. All industries in Canada have demonstrated some progress except Canada's oil and gas sector. Higher emissions are being driven primarily by oil sands and bitumen production in Alberta. Despite that, Conservatives seem to be of the opinion that Canadian emissions are somehow exceptional, more ethical or less damaging to our environment.
Is that compatible with the science? Do you believe pricing pollution is one way to reduce our emissions?
Professor Dietsch, I'll start with you.
