Environment committee  Mr. Boag.

Environment committee  I'm also curious about the way the question was asked to the public. If you ask the question, “Do you want to pay more taxes?”, the answer is always no. It depends upon how you present the issue and what the benefits of the tax might be. I'm curious to know how the question was

Environment committee  I'd like to turn to the National Airlines Council for a minute. Virtually every group we've heard from over several months of testimony has said that they believe their industry could do better. I'm quite disappointed. I thought I heard you say that you're tapped out, that you'

Environment committee  I've also heard over and over from many people testifying that by putting a price on pollution you encourage innovation and encourage companies to do better. Do you not think that would be true in the airline industry?

Environment committee  Thank you. Thank you for being with us today. Mr. Myers, you made a statement that the cost outweighs the benefits. I live in southeastern British Columbia, in the Kootenay—Columbia riding. The last two summers, by the end of July, first week of August, you could not see the m

Environment committee  I have a quick question. I can't remember if it was Mr. Cameron or Mr. Sawyer, but one of you mentioned that the chambers of commerce have now come on board. I wonder if you could speak a bit more about that.

Environment committee  Of course, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce represents small businesses across the country. My last question is this. If you had the premiers from the provinces that are holdouts on carbon pricing currently, what would you tell them? How would you convince them that it's a good

Environment committee  Thank you.

Environment committee  Yes, with the consent of my colleagues, I'd like to give the opportunity to our Green Party leader to have a question or two.

Environment committee  Thank you.

Environment committee  On balance, are you comfortable that the science would suggest that the decrease in carbon was related, then, to pricing on carbon?

Environment committee  Occasionally we hear that, to be really effective, we have to go to $200 a tonne. It seems to be a common figure that I've heard over the last few years. Is there an ideal?

Environment committee  In 2007, I got a cheque from the B.C. government, before they implemented their carbon pricing in 2008. I'm feeling a little left out. Do you think B.C. should adopt Canada's new policy, so I and all my constituents get a cheque in the mail?

Environment committee  Thank you for being here. I want to talk about British Columbia for a minute. My riding is Kootenay—Columbia, in the southeast corner of B.C. When carbon pricing in British Columbia comes up, we occasionally hear about different approaches to carbon reduction. I have to say tha

Environment committee  Thank you, Chair. I really appreciate that. A few years ago, I was mayor of Cranbrook. We had a friendly city relationship with Wonju, a city in South Korea. We went over for a visit and I was amazed at what they're doing with agriculture. The ditches alongside the roads were fu
