Patrick Bonin Bloc Québécois
“The Liberals are using a tariff crisis to push through permanent rules that help oil companies. Fifty-six top scientists warned that this bill will cause permanent environmental harm. Will the government stop this bill?”
“Madam Speaker, with Bill C-39, the Liberals are acting as if it were the environment, endangered species, workers, and indigenous peoples who are preventing them from resolving the tariff crisis. They are taking people for fools. Essentially, what they are doing is exploiting the tariff crisis to make permanent changes that benefit the oil companies. The environmental consequences will also be permanent. Fifty-six of Canada’s most eminent scientists addressed this in a letter yesterday. With Bill C-39, the Liberals will cause costly and irreversible damage. Will they reverse course?”
