Mr. Speaker, across the country, except on the Conservative benches, Canadians know climate change is real. Canadians are also stepping up in lots of different ways to help reduce their emissions, to grow the economy and to create a better future for their kids and grandkids. The multi-billion dollar profitable industry that is the oil and gas industry right now has an unlimited ability to emit emissions into the atmosphere.
We do not think any industry, particularly not one as wildly profitable as the oil and gas industry, should be able to have unlimited pollution. That is why we are putting a cap on emissions, not on production.
