Madam Speaker, that is an important question. What I heard from my hon. colleague is that she understands the importance of a price signal and the importance of carbon pricing and recognizing that, whether in her home province of Alberta or one of the other 76 jurisdictions around the world, this is seen as a really important way to be able to support the fight on climate change.
I agree with the member's comments that we have to construe this policy in a way that is fair and equitable to all parts of the country. As I said in my remarks here today, I would like to see a higher rural rebate. I would like to see some thought given around the home heating question in Atlantic Canada, where 40% of our households still rely on home heating. The government has put really good programs in place. There is the $118 million that I mentioned, which would be very similar to the transit piece that the member mentioned in Alberta. However, those programs need time to get out, and we have to balance the affordability question versus environment. They go hand in hand, so I think of any of these.
I would really welcome a mature and responsible debate instead of some of the mudslinging I see. To be fair, there are some Conservative members on the other side who stand up to provide credible positions, but far too much that I have heard in this debate today is just information that is not factually correct. We have to be better as parliamentarians.
