Mr. Speaker, there is irony in that. We need to recognize that out of the entire North American continent, it was the Province of Alberta that led the way in terms of the first price on pollution, a carbon tax. It was the Premier of Alberta who signed the MOU, recognizing the value of a carbon tax. That is why I started off by saying how far right the Conservative Party of today is. I think they should look at a new name. What did mad Max call his party? Was it the People's Party?
At the end of the day, the Conservative Party has gone so far to the right, there have to be a lot of red Tories over there feeling pretty uncomfortable. I would encourage them to look at what we hear day and day again coming from the leadership of the Conservative Party and so many of those far right personalities. They must be starting to feel uneasy and might even want to sit as independents. They should reflect on the value that red Tories have contributed to the country in many ways in the past. I would like to see a few more bold red Tories stand up against the current leadership of the Conservative Party.
