Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Mr. Darby.
A witness from the Institute for Research in Contemporary Economics has suggested a measure that he believes could help make our businesses more competitive and level the playing field. He proposes the introduction of carbon pricing on imports.
In Quebec, steel is produced from hydroelectricity. In other countries, it is often produced from coal. The manufacturing process is therefore much less polluting here, and the effect on the climate is far less damaging.
Our companies are subject to environmental standards that are often much higher than those found in other countries.
Couldn't carbon pricing on imports be an interesting avenue?
