I just did, Madam Chair.
Can you hear me now?
The problem is solved.
I ask myself the same question, Mr. Martel. We have to decarbonize the global economy, of course, but each country has its own economic reality.
Ukraine will be developing for some time, and a significant carbon intensity cycle occurs when you rebuild a country. I agree that the expressed wish to reduce Ukraine's carbon footprint is valid, but you also have to acknowledge that Ukraine will be spending a decade, or even two, focusing on intensive development. By imposing our own aspirations on another country, we may penalize it, which in a way would make the agreement less appealing for Canada.
Ukraine already has a carbon tax, and it's probably the lowest in the world. So we acknowledge that something has to be done in Ukraine, but I don't think we need to impose our own values, as a generally western country, on it.
