Thank you. I will say two things in response to that.
The first is that we're making sure that we can create jobs for the economy of the future—good-paying jobs, often union jobs. That's what we need if we want to have a strong economy. That helps to make sure that Canadians earn the money they want. Canadians want those good-paying jobs. It is making sure that we are manufacturing in a way that is compatible with the low-carbon economy of the future and that we continue to diversify our trade to more countries and create more of those opportunities. That is what Canadians want to see. When we talk about building Canada, that is a big piece of how we do it right.
The second piece is about protection. We know that if we do not fight climate change, there is a cost. That's often lost in the conversation when I hear Conservatives pushing back against every one of our policies. There is a cost to not fighting climate change. In fact, Conservatives raised some of those examples when we were talking about concerns about wildfires and the like. This other piece is about how we make sure that we continue to fight climate change and take climate action, so that we are actually protecting communities from these additional wildfires and the strength and intensity of the wildfires or floods that we're seeing in our communities.
There are two parts to it, then. One part is how we fight climate change, because there is a cost. I'm just talking about the economics, but there's also a moral cost. I want to make sure that the future I'm giving to my children is a bright future. I think that's what Canadians want—clean air, clean water and a strong future. It's about how we are creating these jobs for the future in a global low-carbon economy. That is where all the dollars are going globally. It's about making sure that when we're building Canada strong, we're building it well.
