Mr. Speaker, every Canadian—aside from Conservative politicians, it seems—knows that the cost of inaction on climate change would be far higher than the investments and responsible benchmarks we are proposing.

The Conservative politicians are the only ones who still do not understand that the economy and the environment go hand in hand.
