Mr. Speaker, I rise to present today a dissenting report from the environment committee. This report, born amid global and domestic upheavals, threatens to shackle Canadian companies with expensive regulations that shove ideology down the throat of reality. It is another top-down decree from ivory towers, fattening consultants while choking off capital to those who have built this nation's prosperity. These are the engines of untold wealth and jobs, whose success underpins millions of pensions and everyday investments.
While Liberal members on the committee will not publicly admit that their aim is to make it more expensive for companies, particularly those in the energy sector, to access capital, we are not afraid to call it as we see it. The reality is that other climate policies, such as the consumer carbon tax and the emissions cap, have failed, and now they have put their EV mandates on ice. They are struggling to come up with a way to bolster their climate credentials in a policy area that most Canadians will not see but that have an impact on the economy.
I would request a comprehensive response to this report from the House.
