Jenny Kwan NDP
“The Prime Minister meets with oil and gas lobbyists, but not environmental groups. He has cut climate policies and helped the fossil fuel industry instead of taxing its huge profits. What else does that industry want from him?”
“Mr. Speaker, the fossil fuel lobby had at least 17 direct meetings with the Prime Minister and environmental groups had zero. The Prime Minister axed the carbon tax, abandoned the emissions cap, killed the EV mandate, signed a deal to build a new pipeline, stepped up on greenwashing, took a sledgehammer to regulatory reviews, created a $25-billion wealth fund that will no doubt benefit the oil and gas industry and refused to impose an excess profit tax when companies are poised to make over $90 billion in profit this year alone. Can the Prime Minister tell Canadians what else the oil and gas industry wants?”
