Mr. Speaker, I salute my colleague and riding neighbour. I think that one thing about the Conservatives is clear. We know that some people still deny science. Nonetheless, in terms of respecting jurisdictions, the Quebec government is free to choose its own carbon market.
The Conservatives moved a motion today that seeks to interfere in areas of jurisdiction. Someone in the Conservative Party or its Quebec caucus needs to explain in English to their colleagues from Alberta or western Canada that, when they move a motion to abolish Quebec's carbon exchange, they are not respecting jurisdictions. I think that is akin to talking out of both sides of one's mouth. They are saying they respect jurisdiction but then they table a motion that will do the opposite.
The answer is quite simple: The Bloc Québécois is opposed to the jurisdictional encroachment the Conservative Party seeks to undertake through its motion today.
