Mr. Speaker, I have spoken to farmers and other people in my riding who are concerned about flooding and prolonged drought caused by the climate crisis because it will permanently increase grocery prices. Quebeckers want to see action and co‑operation here in Canada and internationally. Federal carbon pricing does not apply to provinces that have their own systems, such as Quebec, British Columbia and Newfoundland, but it ensures a level playing field and ensures that together we will fulfill our obligations to our children. Do the Conservatives in those provinces understand that when they argue against federal legislation, they are arguing against the interests of their own citizens? A responsible federal government adopts a pricing approach that will ensure fairness across the country.
