Madam Speaker, I just want to correct a few inaccuracies we heard from my colleague from Chicoutimi—Le Fjord.
First, it is thanks to the Bloc Québécois that there was a special committee on caribou, a special committee on the environment. I hope that he will acknowledge that. Second, the reason why aluminum from Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean is particularly competitive is that it is clean aluminum, as he says, or low-carbon aluminum. What would be the point of not having a price on carbon? That would put us at a disadvantage. Not having a price on carbon would put the aluminum smelters in Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean at a disadvantage.
What my colleague is saying is that we need to get rid of carbon pricing, the United States needs to make aluminum from coal and that would be great. It is rather inconsistent of him to say in his speech that we have the greenest aluminum but there should not be a price on carbon. How can we be competitive if we do not put a price on carbon? I would like him to explain that to me.
