Replying to Leah Gazan (NDP)

“Mr. Speaker, while the Liberal government, with the help of the Conservatives, is bulldozing through the anti-environment, anti-indigenous and anti-worker Bill C-39, scientists report that fossil fuel-driven climate change caused a 275% increase in deaths due to wildfire smoke in Canada. It is proof the Liberals’ corporate agenda is putting lives at risk and jeopardizing a livable planet. Will the government listen to scientists, save lives, stop fuelling the climate emergency and withdraw Bill C-39?”
