Bloc Québécois on Building Canada Strong Act 2026-09-23

105 words · 7 sentences · 8 clauses

Replying to Maxime Blanchette-Joncas (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, it is quite clear that we are witnessing an ecological betrayal. We know that the Prime Minister is not just anyone. He worked at Brookfield. Most importantly, he is the United Nation’s former special envoy on climate. However, he is the one buying a second pipeline with public funds and disregarding all of Canada’s environmental laws for the sake of projects that are in the so-called national interest. If that is not a betrayal, my colleagues will have to let me know the strongest word there is to judge, observe and analyze that situation. I would like my colleague from Joliette to explain his point of view. Is the government turning the environment into a pipe dream by trying to take advantage of the tariff crisis to push things that could never have been done before?”

Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 24 wordsa Conservative government would never have gotten away with backtracking so much on the environment. There would have been an outcry from across society.Positioning Claims · 81 wordsNow people are afraid of our American neighbours, with good reason, Unearned certaintyso they are giving this Prime Minister carte blanche. For all his green promises, never has the environment suffered so many setbacks as it has under the current Prime Minister, including with Bill C-39. It is unprecedented. As the Bloc Québécois leader said, it takes decades to put measures in place to protect the environment and only five minutes to tear them down.¹ That is what this government is doing.
