Madam Speaker, I was struck by the member's words around old age security and the next generation paying the bills. I agree with those concerns; however, I want to talk about the next generation paying the bills with respect to damaging our environment.
We know from Michael Porter of Harvard Business School and many other researchers that companies that have strong regulations are more innovative and more profitable. We know that ecosystem services are incredibly valuable for the air we breathe, the ocean's sea food and the water we drink. They are very expensive to replace when we destroy them.
I wonder if the member could talk about human security in terms of having an environment that is sustainable over the long term and continuing to provide those services. Who is going to pay the bills if we screw things up as the Conservatives are doing?
