It is important that governments take bold steps. Our government has shown leadership by making polluters pay, while providing a climate action incentive to Canadians. This, according to the former Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, is the right thing to do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5853077\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ironically, while the Conservatives cry that the price on pollution will create havoc, it was Stephen Harper who, in 2008, proposed a carbon tax of $65 per tonne. Ours is only $20 a tonne. Talk about hypocrisy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5853078\" data-originallang=\"en\">Eleven years ago, British Columbia introduced its carbon price and now it has outpaced the rest of Canada in reducing emissions and increasing its economic growth. This is proof that a price on carbon works.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5853075\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je prends la parole aujourd'hui au sujet du plan d'action du gouvernement sur les changements climatiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5853076\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme les scientifiques nous l'ont indiqu\u00e9, le Canada se r\u00e9chauffe deux fois plus vite que le reste de la plan\u00e8te, en moyenne. Il est important que les gouvernements prennent des mesures audacieuses. Le gouvernement a fait preuve d'initiative en faisant payer les pollueurs et en offrant aux Canadiens l'Incitatif \u00e0 agir pour le climat. Selon l'ancien gouverneur r\u00e9publicain Arnold Schwarzenegger, c'est la bonne chose \u00e0 faire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5853077\" data-originallang=\"en\">Paradoxalement, les conservateurs se plaignent que la tarification de la pollution s\u00e8mera la pagaille, mais, en 2008, Stephen Harper avait propos\u00e9 une taxe sur le carbone de 65 $ la tonne. La n\u00f4tre n'est que de 20 $ par tonne. Quelle hypocrisie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5853078\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a 11 ans, la Colombie-Britannique a instaur\u00e9 la tarification du carbone et elle a d\u00e9sormais d\u00e9pass\u00e9 le reste du Canada dans la r\u00e9duction des \u00e9missions et l'augmentation de la croissance \u00e9conomique. C'est la preuve que la tarification du carbone fonctionne.</p>"
