Mr. Speaker, it really has to be both. We need to continue to move forward on the transition, and I hope the member opposite recognizes this needs to happen, but we also have to balance this against affordability.
I live in a riding that is quite rural. When I was on the doorsteps, affordability remained a challenge for Canadians. The right hon. Prime Minister talks about balancing the economy and climate change and fighting it, but we need to do both.
The price on pollution allows us to establish a framework, one which could be coordinated around the world within our international community. Letting the market decide who pays for this is inherently a Conservative idea. Why would Conservatives not believe in something that allows the market to decide instead of trying to get government to force its way into solving this problem?
