Am I correct that this was being directed toward me, Madame Pauzé?
One thing that people don't quite understand is that the financial system is deliberately opaque and often made out to be much more complex than it is.
Financial policy is an opportunity, in fact, for government to take accountability for an important sector that is having an impact on the world that we're living in and on the effects of climate change. By not regulating the financial sector, it's missing a very important piece of Canadian climate policy, which needs to be made consistent with other pieces.
I would also highlight again the very significant cost of inaction here. This is relevant to people living across the country. This is relevant to businesses and investors. If we think about the drought in the Prairies in 2021, it cost and harmed farmers living there. The B.C. atmospheric river caused significant devastation and supply chain damages across the country.
Those really show the need for economic policy.
