Madam Speaker, it is really important for Canada to ensure that our approach to climate change is integrated with that of the United States. Our economies are integrated, from autos to food manufacturing and from energy to services. We cannot have a regulatory environment here that is substantially different from that of the United States.
It is really important that we ensure that there is a redoubling of our efforts on regulatory synchronization between the two countries. It is an initiative that was started under former prime minister Stephen Harper that was largely abandoned by the current government. I note that the minister has recently resurrected the initiative, but it seems to me to have been too late in doing that.
