Madam Speaker, the carbon capture tax credit included in this year's budget was not included in the budget implementation act. Why not?

Madam Speaker, I agree with the hon. member that carbon capture and storage is going to be critical to reach our 2030 as well as our 2050 goals. We need to use every tool in the tool box, as the Minister of Environment and Minister of Natural Resources have said. Again, this incentive is a critical tool to reduce our emissions, and this is an important technology to share with the world.

Madam Speaker, there are lots of tools in that box. Carbon capture is widely viewed by all scientific input as the nearest-term solution to decarbonizing our energy needs. There is no path to environmental goals without it. It has been over a year since the government rejected my tax credit on carbon capture because it needed to consult. After all that time, it was announced in this year's budget, yet there is still no action. If the minister believes the climate crisis is the biggest challenge the world faces, why is he so slow in advancing the most obvious solution?
