Jean-Denis Garon Bloc Québécois
“I want the member to explain how Canada can be a clean energy leader while spending 34 billion dollars on an oil pipeline. I want to know if he thinks that is clean.”
“Madam Speaker, I would like to extend greetings to my colleague. We work very well together on the Standing Committee on Finance. As he said, he spent 20 years in banking. I would like to know whether he and his fellow optimists believe that spending $34 billion on a pipeline for the dirtiest oil in the world and funding a new pipeline forms part of what he referred to in his comments as Canada’s strategy to become a clean energy superpower. I would like to know whether the optimists consider that to be clean.”
