The Environment
A debate on the environment where the Bloc Québécois accused the Liberals of climate betrayal and election deceit, while the Liberals defended their record and accused the Bloc of flip-flopping on oil drilling. The discussion featured personal attacks and accusations rather than substantive policy debate.
“I want you to think I'm a good person who cares about the environment. I'm a mother and I want to be a grandmother. I will keep doing things that I claim help the environment. I won't engage with your actual criticism.”
“The Prime Minister's environmental record is so bad that all his environment ministers are abandoning him. Rich oil companies have too much influence. The Liberals shouldn't be proud of this.”
“I don't want to talk about our departing environment ministers. Let me attack you instead. You used to support drilling. We still want to take climate action.”
