Replying to Patrick Bonin (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, the event of the year is the Liberals’ climate betrayal. Their record includes the pipeline agreement with Alberta. It includes ending environmental impact assessments. It includes pipelines and offshore drilling with no regard for protected areas or endangered species. It includes the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie’s resignation. It includes three young Canadians and two groups of ecologists suing the federal government for giving up any hope of achieving net zero. That is their record. How can the Liberals keep defending the Prime Minister?”
