Madam Speaker, I am very surprised that the member opposite does not understand that the environment and the economy go together, and that by taking action on the environment, we are actually building a more sustainable future.
Maybe he would like to listen to Preston Manning who said recently, “To be clear, pricing carbon is a good idea.” It's needed to drive innovation.
I would also like to point out that the New Brunswick committee on climate change said that pricing pollution is a solution.
We are about growing the economy and tackling climate change. We are going to continue moving forward to create good jobs.
