The Environment

A debate on the environment where the Bloc Québécois accused the Liberals of backtracking on environmental issues and missing climate targets, while the Liberals defended their record by citing methane regulations, international climate finance leadership, investments in nature protection, and clean energy tax credits. The Bloc kept asking for specific figures and lists of Liberal actions, but the Liberals mostly stuck to high-level talking points and avoided getting into details or addressing the accusations directly.

“You forgot many bad things on your list. Many groups say you won't meet your climate targets. You say you will meet them. But you never show evidence. I think you are lying.”
