Mr. Speaker-elect, building on the theme of climate change, the recent Conference of the Parties meeting in Paris has resulted in a new protocol that has been signed by the federal government that calls for carbon markets to be established, and the federal government has been supportive of that, leaving it up to provinces and territories to decide. Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia have all started their own carbon markets and are participating in international markets in some cases. This is a significant question for the future of how we engage the strategy. Although both candidates have outlined some ideas about climate change, I'd like to know specifically what your thoughts are on carbon pricing and entering carbon markets and how you will go forward with that in the future.
