I'll be extremely brief, because I want us to get to a vote on this motion.
Mr. Gerretsen's comments, though baffling and absurd in many ways, were not on the motion itself.
He should take note of the fact that the agreement refers directly to the obligation of parties to “promote carbon pricing and measures to mitigate carbon leakage risks”. The fact, as he correctly pointed out, that the particular environmental laws of one country will not be enforced in another country doesn't take away from the fact that the agreement obliges parties to “promote carbon pricing and measures to mitigate carbon leakage risks”. That's in the agreement.
That said, let's park the fact that there are different points of view about the carbon tax around this table. My colleague has put forward a motion that would allow us to adopt amendments related to weapons and make it easier for us to adopt amendments related to weapons. Put aside the debate about the carbon tax. I encourage colleagues, if they're serious about supporting Ukraine, to support my colleague's motion, which would allow us to consider and make it easier for us to adopt amendments that would get weapons to Ukraine.
Let's work together on the things that I hope we agree on—one of which is the weapons issue—by adopting my colleague's motion.
