Mr. Speaker, Quebec has had its own carbon pricing system since 2013. The province is not subject to the federal regime. The Conservative leader continues to demonstrate just how poorly he understands Quebeckers by promising to dismantle a system that Quebec decided to put in place more than 10 years ago. The Conservative leader is the one who does not respect Quebec's jurisdiction.

Mr. Speaker, I hope that the member opposite understands that Quebec has its own carbon pricing system that was implemented in the province in 2013. I think that Quebeckers have the right to know whether the member opposite or the Conservative Party intend to destroy the system that Quebec put in place.

Mr. Speaker, I was under the impression that the Premier of Quebec was François Legault, not the member opposite. The province of Quebec has its own carbon pricing system. The system works very well and has the support of Quebeckers. The province of Quebec supports this system. Those of us here respect Quebec's jurisdiction and the system that Quebec has put in place.
