“The government wants to spend $10 billion of public money to convince Indigenous communities to support a new oil pipeline. I want the government to promise not to spend Quebeckers' money on this project.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are busy launching their new dirty oil pipeline project out west. Things may be buzzing in Ottawa, but it is crickets from developers. Nobody is interested. Who is going to pay, then? The answer is the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources. Yesterday, he confirmed in committee that he wants to give $10 billion of taxpayer money to indigenous communities so that they will agree to participate in the project. The Liberals are trying to buy social licence with $10 billion in cheques. Will the Liberals back down and promise not to put Quebeckers’ money into their pipeline?”

“Quebec taxpayers have already spent billions on oil companies and the Trans Mountain pipeline. We will not pay for another oil pipeline. The government should spend our tax money on health care, fighting climate change, and dealing with American tariffs instead.”

“Mr. Speaker, when a member responds by talking about something else, it means he is bothered by the question. Quebeckers have already paid $34 billion for the Trans Mountain pipeline. We are already paying billions of dollars in subsidies to oil companies, even though those companies are making exorbitant profits because of the war in Iran. There is no way that we are going to pay for another dirty oil pipeline. Quebeckers want their money to be used to fight climate change, to counter Donald Trump’s tariffs and to fund health care. Basically, they want it to be used for anything other than saving oil companies money. When will the Liberals finally get the message?”

“The government just approved a new gas pipeline project in western Canada. Instead of building clean energy, they are increasing our use of fossil fuels. I want to know why Liberal members let the Prime Minister back away from climate action.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals’ descent into an ecological abyss continues. This morning, they approved the expansion of yet another gas project in western Canada. They announced Sunrise, an Enbridge pipeline designed to export shale gas produced through hydraulic fracturing. Instead of developing clean energy and reducing dependence on dirty energy, like other countries are doing, Canada is using the war in Iran as an excuse to increase its reliance on gas. It is another giant step backward. Is there a limit to how much packpedalling on climate action the Liberals will tolerate from their Prime Minister?”
