Alexis Deschênes Bloc Québécois
“Experts and a former minister say the government will miss its climate targets. The government must show proof that it can still meet them.”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague’s list did not even include the backtracking on environmental assessments, the protection of endangered species, and so on. The Canadian Climate Institute says the government will not meet its climate targets. The Pembina Institute says the same thing. The former environment minister who resigned says the same thing, too. All we are asking the government is to provide evidence when it says it will meet its targets despite its backtracking. It cannot. Are the Liberals are not telling the truth? That is the only possible conclusion.”
