Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I have been concerned that the budgets allocated to the Canadian Forces by the current and the previous governments that have been below the rate of inflation for operations. So I think there's a legitimate question about the impact on what I would call the budget's carbon price—not carbon tax. I think that is something we should be concerned about, but I'm also concerned about exempting the military from certain aspects of carbon pricing. It seemed to be in the defence review. So I have a somewhat different view.
There's only one planet here. Everybody's on it, including the military. I'm not sure the time we will have with the minister will allow us to fully explore this question. I do think it's an important question. I'll be supporting the motion. I would prefer that it did not say “carbon tax”. I guess I will move an amendment to change it to “carbon price”.
