Mr. Speaker, the government will not take steps that weaken Canada's competitiveness or create uncertainty for industries that support good jobs in this country.
Industrial carbon pricing and the clean fuel regulations are carefully designed policies that reduce emissions while protecting Canadian competitiveness and encouraging innovation. They provide flexibility for businesses, maintain investment confidence and position Canadian producers to succeed in global markets that increasingly reward cleaner production. Rather than dismantling policies that support long-term economic resilience, the government will continue to work with provinces, industry, farmers and indigenous partners to strengthen affordability, support economic growth and ensure Canada remains competitive in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
