But anyway, I think even my colleague from the NDP will agree with me that there is a new reality out there.
By the way, welcome to both ministers as well.
You both referred to it in your opening comments, that there's a new reality. The world has changed in the last month and otherwise.
We've had a lot of witnesses come before us and state that increasing Canadian natural gas is integral for countries to transition away from coal and some of the higher carbon-emitting forms of energy. Industry experts have also stated that imposing these caps on natural gas will impede their ability to get more Canadian energy to market, at a time when you're indicating that we need that.
If the mission is to reduce the global greenhouse gases—and it is—why is your government moving forward with an emissions cap that could hinder the exports of Canadian materials?
