Madam Speaker, what happened in the member's riding is sad, but I am very confused by his position. He is the first Conservative member I have heard mention the words “climate change”.
We know that the long-term strategy to fight climate change is carbon neutrality, to get to net zero, which the government is staying steadfast to meet by 2050. The proposal by the Conservatives today would be an unbridled race. There is nothing mentioned about net zero in their proposal. It would actually remove a whole bunch of legislation that could actually help us attain net zero.
I feel for the member and the situation in his riding. From a long-term perspective, we have to fight climate change and get to net zero. I am happy to discuss with the member what else we can do to help the farmers at the present time.
