I have a comment, and then I have a quick question, Minister.
There's been a lot made that somehow this—I don't want to frame it in their words—is a back door against the idea of developing oil and gas. I don't see it in that way at all. You've made it very clear that's not the intent of this legislation.
In fact, I want the record to show that for exploratory wells under the Atlantic offshore accord, permitting was for 300 days before the Harper government came into place. During the Harper government's tenure, it went up to 900 days, and our government brought it back down to 90 days. This is oil and gas. This is the thing the Conservatives want to talk about a lot. It is important to the region; I would agree.
There's a slogan, Minister, “technology, not taxes”, that we hear the member for Carleton talk about. We hear this trumpeted from the opposition benches. Is this not “technology, not taxes”? We are talking about leveraging an existing emerging technology to help us decarbonize and export around the world. The Conservatives are still against the enabling legislation that allows that to happen. Do you not see that as a bit hypocritical?
Look, they can take issues with carbon pricing and whatever the case may be, but this isn't carbon pricing. This is the technology and industry to drive us, and they're still against it. Can you comment on that?
