“Over a hundred environmental groups signed a letter saying no to new pipelines. Pipelines harm the climate, wildlife, and Indigenous relations. Will the Prime Minister stop supporting oil and gas?”

“Mr. Speaker, one week after 300 mayors, civil society is now speaking out against the Liberals’ pro-oil stance. One hundred and twenty-two environmental groups, including 49 from Quebec, signed a letter today. They are here with a clear message: no new pipelines. They are saying no to any project that threatens the climate, endangered species, indigenous relations or the sovereignty of governments. It would be a betrayal of all Canadians who still believe in the fight against climate change. Will the Prime Minister end his pro-oil and gas stance?”

“Taxpayers spent nearly $40 billion on the Trans Mountain pipeline, and oil emissions only went up. Quebeckers paid for that. I want the Prime Minister to admit this failed and promise not to make another pipeline deal.”

“Mr. Speaker, regarding the agreement with Alberta for a new pipeline, environmental groups are pointing out that we have seen this movie before. It is called “Trans Mountain”. Taxpayers paid nearly $40 billion for a new pipeline to transport dirty oil. In return, the oil sector made absolutely zero effort to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. They actually rose sharply. Canada basically became an oil developer at Quebeckers’ expense. The film was a flop. Will the Prime Minister finally acknowledge that we do not want to see that movie ever again?”
