Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, as my colleague knows, many countries around the world have a carbon tax. Sweden and many European countries have a carbon tax. It is part of a comprehensive climate plan to fight climate change in a way that will accelerate Canada's energy transition and prosperity

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, certainly it is unfortunate that it is only the Conservatives in the House who think that it should be free to pollute in this country. It should not be free to pollute in this country. We need a comprehensive plan to fight climate change. That includes putting a pri

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I find the phrase that the hon. member uses, “technology and not taxes”, quite ironic for somebody who has spent his entire political career being paid by the taxpayer. As somebody who has spent 20 years in the clean technology sector, I would note that technology i

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, Canada has one of the most comprehensive plans in the world to combat climate change. We will meet our target of a 40% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2030. At the same time, we need to ensure that life is affordable for Canadians, and we have made the investments

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, since 2015, the government has made enormous progress with respect to fighting climate change. We have one of the most detailed plans that exist in the world, but we were starting from a place where we were following 10 years of Harper Conservatives who did nothing t

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, Canada has one of the most detailed climate plans in the world. We are on track to ensure that we are meeting the ambitious targets that we have set. We started from a base where the previous Conservative government, the Harper Conservatives, did nothing to fight cl

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada acknowledges the importance of, and the need for, a global clean energy transition. While this transformation will take time, the government is committed to the bold action required to decarbonize Canada’s energy and natural resources sectors

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, certainly, affordability is extremely important. We have taken significant steps, including allocating a quarter of a billion dollars to replacing home heating oil with greener alternatives and doubling the GST credit. It is also the case, no matter how the Conservat

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. As I said yesterday when she asked this question, we have implemented a plan to fight climate change, a plan that may well be the most detailed one in the whole world. It is an aggressive plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissi

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to phasing out public financing of the fossil fuel sector by the end of 2022. We will eliminate subsidies to the fossil fuel sector by the end of 2023. We must address climate change. We need to implement a plan to fight climate change whi

Oil and Gas Industry  Mr. Speaker, I would advise the hon. member to actually read the emissions reduction plan. The government has invested over $110 billion in reducing emissions around this country and in making investments to actually grow a clean economy going forward. It is something we have to

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, we know that we need to address the issue of climate change. We need to be a leader in these circumstances. I want to say that there are not very many countries in the world that have a plan that is as detailed as Canada's. We also need a plan for a prosperous econom

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, the world does indeed have to deal with the challenge of climate change; we have to deal with it for our children and our grandchildren. Canada has implemented a plan to fight climate change, a plan that may well be the most detailed one in the world. Yes, we need a

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, we certainly recognize that affordability is a very important issue for Canadians. It is why 80% of Canadian households get more back in a rebate on the price on pollution than they actually pay. It is also why we are investing $250 million to help make home heatin

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, I think we should deal in facts. Most of the G7 countries have higher inflation rates than Canada does, and that opposition supported almost all of the COVID supports they are speaking to. As I said, more than 80% of Canadian families get more money back than they p
