Liberal on Oil and Gas Industry 2026-04-27

91 words · 5 sentences · 7 clauses

Replying to Patrick Bonin (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are on a catastrophic collision course when it comes to fighting climate change. They are all about “drill, baby, drill”. They just approved Enbridge’s Sunrise pipeline, yet another pipeline on top of Trans Mountain, Coastal GasLink and plenty of others. It does not stop there. They even want to build another pipeline in western Canada, on top of Keystone XL. Even the Harper Conservatives did not show such contempt for the fight against climate change, and they do not even believe in climate change. Are there any environmentally conscious Liberals left? When will they take action?”
