Patrick Bonin Bloc Québécois
“The Prime Minister is allowing a new oil pipeline that could harm the environment and break environmental laws. The review rules can be changed, and building might start before the review is done. I want to know if any government members will oppose this.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is official: The Prime Minister is an environmental sellout. It has been announced that a new dirty oil pipeline will be built as early as 2027. This is a pipeline that could violate environmental laws and endanger species at risk. The environmental assessment for this pipeline will be carried out by the Canada Energy Regulator in Calgary, and the Prime Minister will even be able to change the criteria as time goes on. Furthermore, construction may begin before the assessment has even been completed. This is an environmental sellout that will have a ripple effect for generations. Are there any Liberals who will refuse to be complicit?”
