Christine Normandin Bloc Québécois
“The minister needs to give us the current numbers. The government cancelled many climate rules and approved new fossil fuel projects. They claim they will still meet their climate targets, but they have no data to prove it.”
“Mr. Speaker, clearly, the minister still does not have the figures. We want figures for this year, because this is the year the Liberals announced a new pipeline and new LNG projects, cut Alberta’s industrial carbon price, scrapped the oil and gas emissions cap, suspended the clean electricity regulations, cancelled the carbon tax, and the list goes on. Today, even though they do not have any figures measuring the impact of this backtracking, the Liberals keep insisting that they are going to meet their climate targets. How are we supposed to believe that?”
