I will quickly respond to Ms. Taylor Roy's comments.
I have said and will continue to say that carbon pricing is an essential tool in our tool box when it comes to tackling the climate crisis. My New Democrat colleagues and I have continued to support carbon pricing, but we are committed to a plan that would make the biggest polluters pay the most, to bring down costs for Canadians, to meet our emissions targets and to unify people when it comes to taking on the climate crisis.
Despite being in power for nine years, the Liberal government has failed to do this. Unfortunately, the Liberals have fixated on their own specific design of consumer carbon pricing as the best and only way to fight the climate crisis. For some reason, when anyone dares to criticize that plan, they try to use this as a political wedge. It is a disservice to climate action. It is a disservice to Canadians. When we have industrial carbon pricing, which makes up 40% of the emissions reduction plan between now and 2030, and when we have methane regulations, and when we have the emissions cap, all of these are doing the huge bulk of our emissions reductions.
I know that Ms. Taylor Roy genuinely wants to talk about these things because these are critical policies in our fight to tackle the climate crisis, but using consumer carbon pricing as a political wedge is doing a disservice to everything you think you're fighting for. It is too bad.
It also makes me very wary of the disingenuous Liberal rhetoric when it comes to actually holding the biggest polluters accountable.
