“Climate change is causing worse fires, floods, and toxic smoke. A member left the Liberal caucus because the government is failing to protect us. Will the government fix its weak environmental rules, or will it do nothing?”

“Mr. Speaker, the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie’s decision to leave the Liberal caucus was a principled response to the Liberal government’s failure to protect us from catastrophic climate change. We see wildfire seasons, floods and whole towns and communities burning to the ground while people wait for another summer when they are going to be choking on toxic smoke. Will the government reverse its backsliding on environmental protections or will it continue to sit by and watch the world burn to the ground?”
