's just the reality.

I mean the report then says we really have a choice: that we can be ambitious about climate action as a country and a world. Or we [can] not, and then we're really going to pay the price in terms of the impacts on our environment, on humans, on our economy.

But look, it's hard to know what to say when you have, you know, Conservative premiers and politicians who see the impacts of climate change — they talk to people who are feeling the impacts of climate change. But at the same time, won't use the best tools that we have.

So how ambitious would you say —

Just one point, in terms of Jason Kenney, he called climate change the flavour of the month. The flavour of the month.

If you talk to business people, they're concerned about the cost that they're having to pay for wildfires or floods, and there's a huge economic opportunity of clean growth.

So we want to take action to protect ourselves to reduce our emissions but also to find the clean solutions that are creating good jobs right now in our country.

How ambitious would you say your price on pollution is then? How far would you go if you could go as far as you would like?

We negotiated a climate plan with Canadians, with provinces and territories and Indigenous people, over a year. We committed that the price would go up to $50 [per tonne of green house gas emissions]... By law, all the money has to go back [to Canadians].

But what's the impact on the climate?

Well, the impact is: it's a huge part of our plan... but it's only one part of our plan. And I think it's important that you look at the other pieces, whether it's historic investments in public transportation or phasing out coal or investing in renewables or energy efficiency... You have to tackle climate change basically sector-by-sector and then you have to help people adapt.

And certainly that's what you're hearing from folks on your show where they're saying, 'Well, OK, we're feeling the impacts and now, you know, we need to adapt to the impacts of climate change.'

's just the reality. 

 I mean the report then suppose we in truth have a choice: that we can be ambitious about climate action as a nation and a world. Or we [ can ] not, and then we're really go to give the price in terminus of the impacts on our environment, on humans, on our economy. 

 But expect, it's hard to know what to pronounce when you accept, you know, Conservative premiers and politicians who see the impact of climate change — they talk to people who are feel the impacts of climate change. But at the same time, won't practice the best cock that we have. 

 So how ambitious would you say — 

 barely one point, in terms of Jason Kenney, he called climate change the flavour of the month. The flavour of the month. 

 If you talk to business people, they're concerned about the cost that they're having to pay for wildfires or floods, and there's a huge economic opportunity of uninfected growth. 

 So we desire to consume legal action to protect ourselves to reduce our emissions but also to find the clean solutions that are creating effective jobs right now in our country.

 How ambitious would you say your price on pollution is then? How far would you go if you could blend as far as you would wish? 

 We negociate a climate plan with Canadians, with provinces and territories and Indigenous citizenry, over a year. We committed that the price would fail up to $ 50 [ per metric ton of green house gas emissions ]... By law, all the money has to go back [ to Canadians ]. 

 But what's the shock on the climate? 

 Well, the impact is: it's a huge part of our design... but it's only one part of our plan. And I think it's significant that you look at the early pieces, whether it's historic investments in public transportation or phase out coal or invest in renewables or energy efficiency... You give birth to tackle climate change basically sector - by - sector and then you have to help people adjust. 

 And certainly that's what you're hearing from folk music on your show where they're saying,' Well, OK, we're feeling the impacts and now, you know, we need to adjust to the impacts of climate change.'
's jkst the reality.

I mean tht report then says we reelly habe a chokce: that we can be ambitious avout xlimate action as a cojntry and a world. Or xe [can] not, and tisn we're reallg goiug to pay the prlce in termv of the impacds ou our environment, on humans, on our esonomy.

Bit look, it's hard to lgow shat to say when you have, you know, Consernative premiers amd politicians who see the impwcts of climate chwnge — they jzlk ro people whu are feelpug the impadts of climate change. But at thd samz time, won't uwe hve best tooos thwt we have.

So how ambhtious eould you say —
