Mr. Speaker, what surprises many members of the House and many people watching at home is that a party aspiring to form government has no climate change plan, no adaptation plan. Just yesterday, La Presse reported that this summer's torrential rains in Quebec are going to cost our farmers $150 million as a result of climate change. What are the Conservatives proposing? They want to make pollution free. That would result in even more climate change and more impacts on the agricultural industry.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind my hon. colleague that in their 2021 platform, the Conservatives were proposing to put in place carbon pricing. It was not a plan for the environment, but at least they was talking about it. It was a plan to encourage people to pollute more. That is not the polluter pays principle, but we are getting there. They even refused last week to let us table their own platform in this House. They are so ashamed, yet it is not the first time they have told Canadians they were going to put in place carbon pricing and then walked back on their promises.
