Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to start by making a brief comment. I think that in Parliament, in this committee, members will disagree with each other on a range of issues. When you're in this line of work, you have to learn to let that go, but I can't let go of something that was said, and I need to point it out in the context of what's being discussed here.
In his last intervention, Mr. Hallan was lamenting the fact that Canada wasn't doing enough to bring our emissions down. What frustrates me is that at the same time, his party and his leadership have done everything possible to get in the way of any action to reduce our emissions.
For the folks watching at home, I think it's important that we call that out and that we be clear that as parliamentarians, no matter what our views are on any issue, we're clear about where we stand and what trade-offs we're making. That really frustrates me, especially when we know how urgent this climate crisis is. We've heard about the impact, economic and otherwise, that this is having on folks across Canada.
If the Conservative Party believes it's important that we act on climate, then I'd love to see its support on measures to act on climate change in this country.
With that said—
