Unanimous agreement, at least in principle

As noted earlier today, Thomas Mulcair is keen on the principle of "polluter pay." In principle, he is not alone.

Stephen Harper, February 7, 2007. Mr. Speaker, this government is clear: our system will be based on the principle that the polluter will pay.

Stephen Harper, February 8, 2007. We will continue to pursue the principle of polluter-pay.

Stephen Harper, February 21, 2007.  We think the basis of regulation of greenhouse gases and air pollution should be the polluter pay principle, and this will be the basis of the plans we bring forward.

Stephen Harper, June 11, 2007. We are also committed to respecting the polluter pay principle. This principle is part of our plan.
