First of all, I don't share your interpretation of my comments. I didn't say that I hadn't said it. What I said is that it should have been clearer. I accept full responsibility for that. I said it, and I repeat it.
As regards carbon pricing, your party and your leader never mention the increases that they receive in the rebate. Yes, the pricing will rise on April 1, but the rebate will too. In addition, your party never discusses the fact that, if we don't do it in Canada, if we don't put carbon pricing in place, it will be imposed on us by our economic partners.
Border adjustment taxes are being introduced in Europe. This means that every company that exports to Europe will have to pay a border tax if we don't have our own taxation system. U.S. treasury secretary Janet Yellen has also noted several times that the United States of America, our biggest economic partner, is also considering instituting border adjustment taxes that would apply to countries that don't have a carbon pricing system.
Consequently, we either do it ourselves or else it will be imposed on us by our economic partners. I think that if we have to choose between the two, we're better off doing it ourselves.
