Mr. Speaker, I quote: Carbon pricing is a remarkably elegant market solution to reducing emissions. Pricing would enable the reduction of a wide array of regulations and government interferences in the market. Pricing would give consumers and companies clear signals about the cost of the negative externality, and allow them to figure out for themselves the best way to respond. Can the Minister of Environment and Climate Change tell us if he agrees with this, and also who said this?

Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question. This is an issue that affects all Canadians, and I understand the situation. I have the utmost respect for my colleague, and he knows that that is why I have asked the presidents of several large corporations and businesses across the country to do their part. In a situation like this, we must all do our part to lower prices for consumers. I have also asked the Competition Bureau to investigate to make sure that there are no unfair practices happening in this country.
