Madam Speaker, I agree with my colleague on one point: Like him, I am a bit puzzled by the proposal before us today. However, here is where we differ a little: In my speech, I talked about clean energy and conventional energy. The government wants to do both, and we think we can do both. Naturally, however, doing both while meeting our climate change commitments will take a certain framework.
My colleague did not say so, but I believe we are thinking the same thing. This proposal is similar to one we have seen before from a certain party south of the border, where all the regulations were thrown out, as if that was the way to build an economy of the future. We, as Canadians, do not believe that. We believe that we can build a strong country while remaining responsible and holding the course on our net-zero targets.
