If we want to do that, we have to maintain a strategy to meet our climate change commitments, and the industrial carbon tax is part of that strategy. Many of our global trading partners will be receptive to new trade deals if we remain committed to addressing climate change.</p>",

Pour ce faire, nous devons maintenir une strat\u00e9gie qui nous aidera \u00e0 respecter nos engagements en mati\u00e8re de changements climatiques, et la taxe sur le carbone pour les industries fait partie de cette strat\u00e9gie. Bon nombre de nos partenaires commerciaux \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle mondiale seront r\u00e9ceptifs \u00e0 de nouveaux accords commerciaux si nous demeurons engag\u00e9s dans la lutte contre les changements climatiques.</p>"
