Mr. Speaker, I would like to once again thank my hon. colleague for his consistent advocacy for Alberta. Any relevant, credible plan must take climate change seriously and look to seize the economic opportunities that can come through a transition to a low-carbon future. Last week, Dow announced it was taking advantage of Canada's carbon capture hydrogen investment tax credit to build the world's first net-zero petrochemical facility. It is an $11-billion investment and will create 8,000 jobs in construction and hundreds thereafter for Fort Saskatchewan, but it is not just the credits that motivated Dow. The Dow CEO said that they invested here because Canada has a price on carbon pollution. While Conservatives have no plan, they do not have a plan for the environment, they do not have a plan for the economy, our plan is working.
