Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, it is really sad that we have fake news coming from the other side, misinformation and fake news. The only thing that is being hidden is what the Conservatives' climate plan is. Maybe the next time they get up, they can tell us what their climate plan is, how they ar

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, where are the Conservatives hiding their climate plan? That is all we all want to know. Where is the climate plan? When it comes to putting a price on pollution, we have an April 30 document and I am very happy to share that personally with the member opposite. We o

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, let us start by noting that we are all in this together, that climate change is real, and that no one knows this more than farmers. When I talk to farmers, they are worried about droughts, they are worried about floods, and they are worried about extreme weather. On
