Oral Questions
Climate Change
The One Canadian Economy Act was debated during Oral Questions. However, the discussion focused on reports that the Liberals plan to dismantle the regulatory framework for pipelines. The Bloc Quebecois criticized this move, arguing it will weaken environmental protections. The Liberals defended their climate record, touting international financing and investments in clean energy. The debate devolved into bickering over unrelated provincial matters like high-speed rail rather than the substance of the actual bill.
“We're the government that's actually doing things about climate change, unlike that other guy who's just complaining. Also, we're making a power grid. I won't directly address his pipeline point.”
“The Liberals are doing a bad job on pipelines and climate change. They're just trying to please Danielle Smith and Preston Manning's friends. Why don't they all just join the Conservative party instead of pretending?”
“The Bloc is bad. The Bloc hates a train we want to build. This train is good for the environment. The Bloc must hate the environment.”
