Replying to Patrick Bonin (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, as wildfire season approaches, today, 300 mayors are calling the Prime Minister out on his climate record and his shift toward the oil sector. Representatives of half the population are telling the Prime Minister that if he wants to build the country, as he claims, he first has to make sure not to burn it down. We already know that the Prime Minister wants nothing to do with environmental groups and Parliament. We now know that he yells at his own members. Will he at least listen to these mayors or will he yell at them too?”
