Mr. Speaker, since 2006, our government has taken action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build a more sustainable environment through more than $10 billion in investments to support green infrastructure, energy efficiency, clean energy technologies, and the production of cleaner energy. We are seeing success, as greenhouse gas emissions have decreased while the economy continues to grow.
Canadians can also be proud of the fact that per capita emissions are at a historic low of 20.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per person, their lowest level since tracking began in 1990.
Canadians can count on this government. Our approach is working. There is something else Canadian's can count on. They can count on us to continue to oppose the NDP's $20-billion carbon tax.
