Thank you, sir, for giving me the opportunity to talk more about this recommendation.
In fact, there are several ways to deal with inflation. It can be dealt with directly, for example, by controlling the policy rate. But there are many other factors that affect the cost of living and the purchasing power of Canadians, and climate change is one of them. In order to find a comprehensive solution to inflation, this issue must also be addressed.
Last year, due to natural disasters, Ottawa had to provide significant additional funds to help the provinces deal with climate change. This assistance is likely to increase over the years as climate change evolves. This also has implications for the consumer price index and the cost of food.
If we want to act in a sustainable way to fight inflation, we must invest more in the fight against climate change. Above all, we must not reduce the investments we make in this area. For us, this is fundamental. This is a problem that is of great concern to young people across the country, and we must do more.
