Yves-François Blanchet Bloc Québécois
“Climate change is real. The government must stop building oil pipelines, cutting environmental protections, and dropping emission caps. I want the government to change its plans and fight climate change.”
“Mr. Speaker, there is indeed such a thing as climate change. We can combat the effects of climate change, but not by scrapping the carbon tax, not by funding new oil pipelines, not by suspending environmental assessments and abandoning biodiversity protection measures, not by scrapping greenhouse gas emission caps, and not by abandoning emission capping targets. Will the government start listening and reverse course on its huge climate betrayal blunder?”
