Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I agree that we have to respect provincial jurisdictions. However, as with the price on pollution, we saw that the courts said the federal government has jurisdiction. I believe that we are not disrespecting provincial jurisdiction by working with provinces to understand their motivations. We are not overruling them. We are simply asking the minister—and perhaps we should change it to Mr. Nathan Neudorf—to come and explain the rationale for the decision here.
I hope that Madame Pauzé, as well, will realize that we're in a climate emergency and that, while we want to respect provincial jurisdiction, greenhouse gases do not actually look at provincial borders. They cross provincial borders. They cross national borders.
There's a clear indication being given by both Suncor and the provincial government that they are making decisions that do not help us address the climate crisis. Although Mr. Kmiec has given a very good explanation, I think it would be more fitting for the minister who put this order in council in place to explain it to us. I don't think that goes against provincial jurisdiction, but the very fact that you mentioned that the order in council had to be put in place because it went against the legislation that was already in place with those targets—
