Environment committee  Thank you.

Environment committee  Thank you. I started asking questions about the canola growers. That association has far exceeded the Paris targets of 30%—a 50% reduction from 2005 levels. They would like to be exempt. Both associations, all the witnesses, indicated that they support a carbon tax. I don't thi

Environment committee  I'm sorry, my time is clicking. Do you support an exemption or not?

Environment committee  Chair, I just have a moment left. I really feel it's important that we have the minister here. I'd like to give a notice of motion. I request that the Minister of Environment and Climate Change appear before this committee to discuss the funds that the Parliament approved in De

Environment committee  It's 112%, and that's not reasonable. Mr. Chair, there are some very important questions that we need to deal with. I would like to move now to the motion that was before this committee. I have time to introduce the motion and then I would like to speak to the motion. I'd like

Environment committee  It will be a recorded vote then.

There's a lot of energy, a lot of focus, a lot of investment in partnering with stakeh

Environment committee  We can do much better using some of that canola oil instead of exporting it. We also heard from the canola growers that they were very concerned about the government policies that could make us not competitive anymore. I asked what it was and they said the carbon tax. They also

Environment committee  Would your association support continuing a carbon tax even though you have reduced your carbon output?

Environment committee  This is a question for both of you. In British Columbia the carbon tax is not revenue neutral. It's collected at $35 a tonne and on April 1 it goes up to $40 a tonne. Do you know what that equates to for the Canadian taxpayer? When they get their carbon tax bill for the energy

Environment committee  I have just a very quick question, as I don't want to delay anything. The environment minister was invited to the committee. Is there any indication that she's going to be coming before this session of Parliament ends? She was asked to speak to the supplementary estimates, whic

Environment committee  We've already invited her, Mr. Chair. Is she going to come?
