Madam Speaker, I will remind my colleague, first of all, that this is a Liberal government bill, so the Liberals can take ownership of its shortcomings and its faults. We worked with the limited tools before us to make the improvements that the Liberals ultimately would allow.
I guess the decision or the choice before us was whether to stop this bill completely in its tracks, given the importance of climate change and the little time that is left before us, or to pass a bill that at least sets up a framework that hopefully can be improved upon at a later date. We chose that option because we believe that climate change needs addressing right now.
I will admit that the bill is still flawed and needs work, but it is a significant improvement from where we are, and we look forward to the opportunity in the future to work on that bill and make the improvements that are necessary. I can certainly give my commitment to doing that.
