Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her dedication to fighting climate change.
Our plan includes more than 50 measures, such as phasing out coal, ensuring a fair transition for communities and investing in renewable energies.
Yes, we said we would eliminate inefficient fossil fuel subsidies.
We now have a transparent process. We have eliminated eight out of nine fossil fuel subsidies in our tax system. We have a process.
We have to make sure that there are not unintended consequences. The NDP wants to immediately eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, but what would that mean to northern communities that actually have subsidies to make sure that energy is affordable for them?
We need to figure out the transition. We need to figure out a way that makes sense for people at the heart of it, that makes sure that life is affordable and that we are creating good jobs. Yes, we are absolutely serious about tackling climate change.
