Mr. Speaker, I would remind my hon. colleague that he campaigned during the last election on putting carbon pricing in place. He is saying no to billions of dollars of investment already happening in Canada, in Newfoundland and Labrador, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Alberta and southern Ontario, in the new economy. That is what Conservatives are saying no to. We are saying yes to fighting climate change. We are saying yes to having a strong economy.

Madam Speaker, given that we are talking about the environment, I wanted to highlight one thing that I know my friend is very much in tune with. It is the idea of batteries. We have seen the Volkswagen investment, with the types of green jobs that are going to be there going forward. The government is assisting on that, working with other jurisdictions, investing in Canadians and building a healthier, stronger, greener economy. I know the member has further ideas, locally, that he has been advocating for very strongly.

Madam Speaker, I chat with my hon. colleague from the Prairies quite frequently and consider him a very good friend. If we look at the numbers that have come out here in Canada in where our emissions are going and, they are going down the right trajectory. We are making those key targeted investments. The great thing is that the private sector is making those wonderful targeted investments in assets across this country in renewable power. I believe there was an announcement today of foreign direct investment by a Greek company to build the largest solar facility in the province of Alberta, which would provide electricity for over 200,000 homes. We see the province of Alberta leading in renewable investments and in investments where it is decarbonizing its great petrochemical sector, and its great oil and gas sector, which we know supports the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Canadians throughout this country.
