Madam Speaker, I do not expect the member to answer my question, because he never really does, but I will say this to counter some of the false narrative in there: He said our emissions are just slightly reduced since before COVID. The reality is that our emissions right now are at the same level they were at in 1998. What is the huge difference between now and then? Our economy was worth about $650 billion in 1998, and now it is worth $2 trillion. Our economy is three times the size it was in 1998, and we had the exact same emissions that we do now.
I would love for the member to reflect, perhaps, on the days when Stephen Harper was prime minister, when the economy was stagnant or even going down, yet emissions were continuing to rise. Although I appreciate the member's rhetoric, it is nothing more than that.
