Mr. Speaker, I have been in the House now for just over six months, and I am still waiting to hear about the positive action that the party opposite wants to take on fighting climate change. I have not yet heard it. I have heard only the negative propositions.
I think that someone who is concerned about investment, investment trajectories and securing more private sector investment knows that it is very important to have policy certainty and policy predictability. We on the industry committee of Parliament have been studying some of these questions.
To have an investment tax regime that is actually four percentage points lower than comparable rates in the United States on average, to have some policies in place that provide certainty around carbon pricing for industry, and to have policies in place that show that we have EI supports, training supports and a series of investment tax credits that support that kind of investment is the kind of investment and the kind of budgetary approach that Canadians are looking for.
