Gabriel Ste-Marie Bloc Québécois
“I oppose this bill. The Prime Minister is weakening environmental rules more than any leader before him. It takes decades to protect the environment, but this government is tearing those protections down in minutes.”
“Mr. Speaker, a Conservative government would never have gotten away with backtracking so much on the environment. There would have been an outcry from across society. Now people are afraid of our American neighbours, with good reason, so they are giving this Prime Minister carte blanche. For all his green promises, never has the environment suffered so many setbacks as it has under the current Prime Minister, including with Bill C-39. It is unprecedented. As the Bloc Québécois leader said, it takes decades to put measures in place to protect the environment and only five minutes to tear them down. That is what this government is doing.”
