Is it any wonder that a government that keeps lecturing everyone on decarbonization, that claims to be a world leader in decarbonization, spends close to $40 billion of taxpayers' money on a pipeline?
Mr. Mousseau, you mentioned earlier that Canada is the worst country in the G7 and that it ranks 62nd out of 67 countries according to the COP29 Report, which is tabled every year. In the United States, some states have a pricing policy on emissions, but the United States as a country doesn't; President Obama and President Biden, who are big advocates of decarbonization, didn't take that approach.
So my question is this. Why is it that Canada, which has that ambition and has extended carbon pricing across the country, is worse than the United States, which doesn't have pricing in all states?
