“The Bloc Québécois leader allowed oil drilling in the past, so he should not lecture us. Our government is protecting nature, including a huge new area in British Columbia. We also have very clean power and plan to double our electricity supply.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am not going to take lessons from the leader of the Bloc Québécois, who authorized oil drilling on Anticosti Island. If the member wants to talk about the work we are doing here, Canada is a global leader thanks to the work we do. When it comes to protecting nature, we just protected an area in British Columbia that is larger than Prince Edward Island. We are continuing to make progress with our nature strategy. We have one of the cleanest power grids in the world. We plan to double its capacity through our electrification strategy, working with Hydro‑Québec and our other partners. We are getting the job done.”
