I imagine you're going to reset the clock to zero, Mr. Chair.
As I was saying, the words “growth” and “clean” are often lumped together, and that really upsets me. Mr. Coffin just mentioned it. We must first move towards reduction. Growth in a decarbonized economy means prioritizing energy sources that are carbon-neutral and those that are the least harmful to the environment and human health.
When the financial system, faced with a lack of regulation, fails to adjust, it's the whole of society that pays for the damage caused by the climate crisis. Just think of the enormous damage in Montreal this summer, in August.
Mr. Arnold, your organization has a lot of credibility, and I think the federal government is listening carefully. Will you unambiguously support the climate-aligned finance bill? I imagine you're very familiar with Bill S‑243, which is being considered by the Senate. I'd love to hear your comments on it.
