Christine Normandin Bloc Québécois
“The Liberals now support the oil sands and fossil fuels just like the Conservatives do. I want to know why Liberal MPs who care about climate change stay in their party.”
“Mr. Speaker, there must be some Conservatives who are itching to cross the floor. They see themselves in a Prime Minister who promotes the monarchy and the oil sands. We now understand the Liberals’ vision. Canada’s future is based on dirty 19th‑century fossil fuels. Now at least we know where we stand. My question is simple: Why do the members in that party who still believe in the fight against climate change not just leave? What are they waiting for?”
