“The government wants to weaken the rules for approving pipelines. They plan to use only one federal review, cut out public hearings in Quebec, and ignore climate change. I do not support this.”

“Mr. Speaker, Radio-Canada reports that the Liberals are set to dismantle the entire regulatory framework governing pipelines. They had already passed Bill C-5, which suspends nearly all existing laws, but that was not enough. Now, they are going to limit environmental assessments to a single federal review, which always says yes. Now, they are going to restrict consultations as well. We are saying goodbye to BAPE, Quebec’s office of public hearings on the environment, goodbye to citizens, but above all, hello to climate change. Are there really Quebec liberals who entered politics for this?”

“The Liberals say they want to fight climate change, but they plan to drop rules on oil pipelines. They are acting just like the Conservatives.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is ridiculous that the Liberals are using pipelines to fight climate change. According to Radio-Canada, later this week, the Liberals will be announcing that they intend to scrap the regulatory framework for pipelines. That is good timing, given that Danielle Smith will be in town tomorrow for a far-right convention. Who would have thought that the Liberals would get a standing ovation from a think tank founded by Preston Manning? Strangely enough, for months now, the Liberals have been trying to cobble together a majority, one floor crosser at a time. Would it not have been easier for them all to just cross over to the Conservative side?”
