Mr. Speaker, we are fighting climate change, and we are delivering on affordability. The hon. member will recall that the Parliamentary Budget Officer has confirmed that the price on pollution will put more money in people's pockets. Eight out of 10 families will get more back than they pay, through the climate action incentive. This year, I would remind the hon. member that a family of four will receive up to $745 in Ontario, $830 in Manitoba and $1,100 each in Saskatchewan and Alberta. We are fostering affordability and fighting climate change.

Mr. Speaker, we know that climate change and the cost of inaction is absolutely enormous. We have been experiencing climate impacts all over the country, and we have a practical and affordable way to reduce pollution. While the Conservatives want to make pollution free again, we are reducing pollution. We are putting more money in people's pockets, and we are building the clean economy of the future.

Mr. Speaker, we have all heard the Leader of the Opposition's calls for freedom. I hope that the hon. member did not mean the freedom to pollute. While Conservatives want to make pollution free again, we are reducing pollution, putting more money in people's pockets, and creating a clean economy and good, clean jobs.

Mr. Speaker, our government understands the affordability concerns faced by Atlantic Canadians, which is why the federal system is designed to put money back into the pockets of families. If the federal system is applied in the provinces of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, we will ensure they receive the climate action incentive payments via quarterly cheques, which will be in the mail in October. We remain committed to working in a collaborative and productive way with provincial counterparts to fight climate change while making life more affordable for Canadian families.

Mr. Speaker, if the hon. member will not believe me, perhaps he will believe the Parliamentary Budget Officer, or perhaps he will believe the commissioner on environment and sustainable development. The reality is that the price on pollution puts more money into people's pockets. Eight out of 10 families will receive more than they pay in through the climate action incentive— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, I was just repeating what I said before. Eight out of 10 families will be better off. We are fighting climate change. We are delivering on affordability in so many ways, as our Minister of Tourism has highlighted many times today. Surely the Conservative Party does not want to take money out of people's pockets. Once again, a family of four will receive $745 in Ontario, $830 in Manitoba and about $1,100 in Saskatchewan. That is real money that is going to help with affordability.
