Mr. Chair, I believe it is of the utmost importance that we consider how to improve the economic situation of Canadians. It is also important to address climate change, since it will be a real challenge in the future and there will be costs associated with it.
This evening, I am being asked whether the provinces will consider lowering taxes. That is up to them. The question I have for the members here is this. Is there a better approach than putting a price on carbon? I have not heard any suggestions from the members opposite. If they have a plan, we are listening, but in our opinion, and from what we have heard from economists and others who know how to deal with climate change, we need to set a revenue-neutral price on carbon. That is our approach, and it will allow us to reduce carbon emissions in the future while ensuring that Canadians are in a good situation.
