Mr. Speaker, of course we are a leader: 77% of Canada's electricity comes from non-emitting sources. We are the first major coal user to band construction of traditional coal-fired electricity generation units. The first 21 years, for example, of our new coal regulations are expected to result in a cumulative reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 214 megatonnes, which is equivalent to removing 2.6 million personal vehicles from the road per year. Our regulations for heavy-duty vehicles would reduce carbon emissions in those vehicles by up to 23%.
What does the NDP have to offer? A carbon tax; a tax on everything.
