Environment committee  Thank you very much, Chair. I am raising a real concern I have on the carbon tax being proposed by the Liberals that Francis was asking about. This government firmly believes in the polluter-pay principle. We've heard that from the Prime Minister and the minister. Our plan

Environment committee   Turning the Corner plan presents a responsible path forward. It'll enable Canada to address climate change and air pollution without putting Canada's quality of life and economy at risk. It is equitable across regions and economic sectors. It respects the polluter-pay principle

Environment committee   in the polluter-pay principle. Our plan recognizes that all Canadians have to fight climate change and that industry has to do its part; and it will, as things stand. Our regulations will apply to all big industry, as we said, the oil sands and any of the other oil projects as well, in terms

Environment committee   measures, those very things that were requested by Mr. Cullen and that I guess others from the NGO communities have suggested as well. Regarding the polluter-pay principle, our plan recognizes that all Canadians, not just businesses but individuals, have to fight against climate change

The Environment  . Our government is a firm believer in the polluter-pay principle and that is why we are establishing a Canadian carbon exchange. The time for Liberal rhetoric and promises has passed. Conservative members are taking action now to ensure the sustainable development of Quebec within

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, polluter pays is one of the principles of our plan. The good news is this. While I do not have the confidence of the member from Skeena—Bulkley Valley and the NDP, I do have the full confidence, the full support, the full enthusiasm of the Liberal Party of Canada.

Environment committee  I will ask two quick questions, and then I'll close off here. On the issue of the polluter paying, which you said, Mr. Godfrey.... I don't understand in effect what you're doing. I guess you're lumping it all together in a kind of national sense, in effect going back

Transport committee   barrels, grocery carts.... It's unbelievable the number of things people leave. We have hundreds of volunteers who do that, and it's a very good effort. But no matter what dent we make, we find that the next year it's back. I believe in the “polluter pays” principle. Has

The Environment   on industry and we are going to take a very different approach than the talk of the Liberal Party. We believe in the fundamental principle that the polluter pays, something that the member's own leader abandoned when he was the minister of the environment.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, our targets are applicable on a national scale. These targets apply to every province and the targets are greater for economies experiencing greater growth. We are also committed to respecting the polluter pay principle. This principle is part of our plan.

Environment committee  I believe in a “polluter pays” approach. I don't believe we should ask hard-working, middle-class taxpayers to subsidize big business to reduce their pollution. That's why we're going to require industry to make billions of dollars in investments to reduce greenhouse gases

Environment committee   to a “polluter pays” principle, I think it is important. I think the investments are going to have to be made in every single industry, whether it's pulp and paper, oil and gas, chemicals, or smelting. All are important. Everyone has to play their part.

The Environment   that is a responsible environmental policy. We think the basis of regulation of greenhouse gases and air pollution should be the polluter pay principle, and this will be the basis of the plans we bring forward.

Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act   that the polluter pays for damaging our health and our environment. Without enforcement, Bill C-288 is not much of a bill. It might as well have been a motion, or how about a preamble to a real bill on climate change. Bill C-288 is therefore useless. I think the Liberals know a lot about being

The Environment   will continue to pursue the principle of polluter-pay.
