Mr. Speaker, unlike the party opposite, we understand that the environment and the economy go together.
It was the Conservatives in their 2008 platform and Speech from the Throne who committed to implement a price on carbon pollution. The Conservatives subsequent “Turning the Corner” plan committed the Conservative government to:
Forcing industry to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions;
Setting up a carbon emissions trading market....
Establishing a market price for carbon.
It seems that rather than turning the corner, the Conservatives instead chose to hide their plan.
