I thank you for that.
I think back to a previous comment you made at this committee. You mentioned that Minister Guilbeault's department privately admitted to you that additional measures would need to be implemented if they want to hit those emissions targets. Now, when Minister Guilbeault was asked at a recent meeting whether or not he would raise the carbon tax above $170 a tonne, he said, “No decision has been made.”
I was unable to ask the bureaucrats questions at the last meeting thanks to frivolous points of order by members on the government side.
My question for you is this: In your discussions with ECCC, perhaps even privately, do you know whether ECCC ever did modelling above $170 a tonne post 2030?
