“I want to look good by talking about my electricity strategy. I hope naming Hydro-Québec asking for a tax credit will make that strategy sound important. I'm saying that my strategy will strengthen the electricity grid. I also say it will help Alberta connect to other provinces, because I want to sound like I'm doing a lot.”

In this debate, the Bloc ébecois criticized the Liberal government's environmental record and accused them of greenwashing, while the Liberals defended their climate strategy and commitments. The Bloc also mentioned rumors of an MP potentially leaving the Liberal party over climate issues. The Liberals highlighted their electricity strategy and goals for emissions reductions and conservation by 2030 and 2050.
“I want my team to look united and serious about the environment. I'll just list nice-sounding goals for 2030 and 2050, and pretend a united strategy is what's important. I hope if I talk about uniting Canadians instead of answering the division question, people will ignore our conflict.”
