Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Alberta for his question. Before answering, I would like to look at the premise for his question.
First, he said that this is a tax and that the revenues will go into government coffers. That is not at all the case.
What we announced is very clear and I mentioned it in my speech. I know that the hon. member listened carefully to my comments. I clearly explained, as is set out in black and white in Bill C-86, budget implementation act, 2018, no. 2, that all revenues from pollution pricing will be returned to the provinces and territories where they were collected.
I am sorry for taking a little too much time to answer the question, but I guarantee the member that it is not a tax. It is a pricing measure that we will subsequently return to the province or territory where the tax was applied.
