I’m really enjoying the conversation this afternoon. I appreciate all the members, I appreciate the support on second reading—oh, I still have a few seconds there where I can ask this question. I always appreciate having a conversation with my colleague from Guelph. It’s always profitable for me.

The comment was made by the member from Sudbury that we need government regulations in order for the companies to do the right thing, and I can’t disagree with that. That is often the case. Yet, talking about ESG goals for companies, I don’t think there’s any government involvement in ESG. This is something that companies are doing entirely on their own because that’s what investors are looking for.

So, is there room for companies to figure things out, to innovate to find those solutions without government overreach?
