Mr. Speaker, for starters, the policy that he is referring to in terms of Quebec's pricing of carbon existed long before the federal government ever got involved in it. As a matter of fact, Quebec and Ontario signed deals with California and a number of other states back in the early 2000s to make sure that pricing carbon was done properly.
The reality is that we spend time here arguing with Conservatives all day long about whether or not climate change is real and what the contributions are. There are other parts of the world, including in Europe, including in Asia, that are actively doing something to change the environmental impact that the world is having right now. We can get caught up in these discussions all day long, but eventually we get to a tipping point where it really does not matter what the west does or in particular what we are doing in North America, because the rest of the world is pushing forward. I only wish that we could have been completely on the front end of this, rather than fighting with Conservatives all day long on whether or not climate change is real.
