Thank you, Minister. I look forward to seeing that, once that tax is implemented.
However, you talked about the policies that are still in place. For years, you defended every major climate policy that this government introduced—the carbon tax on consumers, the program to plant two billion trees, the emissions cap on oil and gas, the greenwashing regulations and the EV mandate. Then, almost overnight, they were delayed, watered down or abandoned entirely. Now, every time one of these policies seems to collide with reality, it falls apart.
What should Canadians conclude from this pattern of your supporting policies and then having to step back from them?
