“About 15 Liberal members wrote to the Prime Minister because they are unhappy with his support for oil and gas. If climate change is so serious, they should leave their party.”
“Mr. Speaker, when it comes to selling out on the environment, the Prime Minister is taking things farther than Stephen Harper. We are not the ones saying it. The Liberal member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie says it, and he is not alone. About 15 Liberals have written to the Prime Minister to express their uneasiness with the shift to oil and gas. About 15 Liberals reminded him that climate change is the most serious threat of our time. If this is the most serious threat of our time, what is stopping them from standing up and leaving their party?”
