Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses.
Before I ask a question, I'm going to go back to what you said in your opening remarks, Mr. Pardy. I've never heard so much climate denial. Above all, I was almost insulted when you said that the subject of our study was a threat to the country's economic prosperity. I'm here in a professional setting and, on the contrary, I want the constituents my riding and my nation to have a healthy environment and not see their health affected by climate change, even though that's already happening.
That said, my question is for you, Ms. Quigley.
Canadians are increasingly concerned about greenwashing, and rightly so. In a November 2023 poll, 78% of Canadians polled—I repeat, 78%—said they were in favour of greenwashing regulations in the financial sector, 76% said they supported their bank's sustainable finance efforts and 65% said they were in favour of their pension fund doing the same thing.
In your opinion, Ms. Quigley, are Canadians right not to trust voluntary climate disclosure initiatives?
