“A past Conservative prime minister signed an agreement to protect nature. This bill lets projects go ahead even if they put at-risk animals and plants in danger. I want to know what my colleague thinks about that.”
“Madam Speaker, I would like to take a brief step back and remind my colleague that Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney, who was considered one of the most pro-environment prime ministers, signed the Convention on Biological Diversity on Canada’s behalf. What does my colleague think of Bill C‑39, which will allow projects located in regions of national interest to move forward even if they put species at risk?”
