Thanks very much, Chair.
Thanks for being here, Minister.
I think it was very disappointing to hear you start the climate change rhetoric and suggest that the Conservatives, because we have questions, are climate change deniers. You know and I know that's just foolishness. This process is designed to have questions. The sad part is that you're the person here to answer them. Your beginning rhetoric is very disappointing for the person I've come to know.
That being said, is your primary purpose here to go on a climate crusade or is there an economic case? As we get into this, we know the economics doesn't exist. Which is it, climate crusade or economics?
