Climate Change
The debate was about climate change and the government's response to it. The Bloc Québécois criticized the government for not doing enough and for continuing to support pipelines, while the Liberals defended their record and talked about their plans to fight climate change, such as strengthening methane regulations and protecting lands and waters. The debate was substantive and focused on the topic at hand, with no significant tangents or personal anecdotes.
“I'm filling time with kind words and saying nothing anyone could pin down later. We're leading but don't look at the details.”
“You care more about oil profits than protecting the environment or fighting wildfires. I want you to look bad.”
“Climate change is real. We have a plan. We will protect some land and water. We will regulate methane and fund some renewable energy. That is how we will solve everything.”
