Mr. Speaker, we were very clear when we were elected that we would take real action to tackle climate change, unlike the previous government.
Members should not just take it from me that a carbon tax is the most efficient way to tackle emissions. The Suncor Energy Inc. CEO said, “We think climate change is happening. We think a broad-based carbon price is the right answer.” Someone else the Conservative Party members might remember is well-known Conservative Preston Manning, who said that he wholeheartedly supports carbon pricing.
We are going take action because it is the right thing to do.
