Thank you to our panellists for coming today.
I think that we've heard in the last two panels that there's an overwhelming consensus—except for one panellist, who we shall not name—that the facts support a price on carbon. Now we can disagree on what type of price that will entail, the process of that price, whether it should be revenue-neutral, but the facts do support that pricing carbon will lead to a reduction in GHG emissions.
We also know, factually, across the world, when you look at any economist or any environmentalist, that the earth is getting warmer. Over the next century, it's supposed to go to an increase of 3 to 5.3 degrees Celsius, which is the biggest increase that we will ever have had in the history of planet Earth. That's a challenge. Like Stewart said, Canada has to be forward thinking. It has to meet this challenge head on.
You mentioned that, across the globe, economies that have done carbon pricing have had stronger economies and good economic growth. Can you please talk to that a little bit more, even outside of the Canadian context, so we can see what other jurisdictions in the world have done, a carbon price, and their corresponding GDP growth?
