Mr. Speaker, first, it is not just a question of fixing targets. Canada and various governments have talked a lot about targets.
What Canadians expect, what Canadians need, what provinces, businesses, and consumers need and expect, is a clear plan whereby we will be reducing emissions in this country. That is exactly what we have put forward. We have put forward that there will be pricing on carbon across the country that by 2022 will reach $50 a tonne. This is because it will be good for the economy and for innovation. It will be good for jobs. It is something that we will work with the provinces on the model that they want to implement. We know that the provinces are different in their opportunities, their challenges, and their needs.
We are all agreed that we need to reduce emissions across the country. We look forward to working with the provinces on the model that suits each of them best, as long as they are stringent enough to not disadvantage other provinces.
The fact is, we have the Conservative Party thinking we go too far. We have the NDP thinking we are not going far enough.
I think, like most Canadians will think, that we have the right balance.
