Madam Speaker, first, there is absolutely no guarantee that these companies will pass on any savings to Canadian consumers if we do what the Conservatives propose. Second, on this side of the House, we do believe that climate change is real and we know that we need to act now to ensure that we do not pay huge amounts to meet the climate change catastrophe that is at our doorstep.

Madam Speaker, I completely understand my colleague's concern. I can assure the House that we are working closely with the industry. It is true that this year is a particularly difficult one because of diseases and climate change. That is why we are working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and others to find new, safe sources of bees. We will continue to work with them.

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?
