Climate Change

During Question Period on climate change, Bloc Québécois members cited a Natural Resources warning that wildfire activity will increase this summer, and said 300 mayors are calling on the federal government to abandon new pipelines. They asked why the government still promotes oil sands and oil exports when forested communities face fire risk. Liberal ministers replied that the government is fighting climate change, citing strengthened methane regulations, a plan to protect 30% of lands and waters by 2030, and renewable energy growth, and said the Bloc votes against the government’s plans instead of supporting them.Written by AI from the debate.

Mr. Speaker, I will say it again: Our government continues to fight climate change, and we are getting the job done. We have strengthened methane regulations, and we are a global leader in this effort. People are looking to us and asking how they can do the same. When we talk about what we are doing when it comes to climate change and international financing, again, we are a leader. However, every time we make these changes and do this work, the Bloc Québécois does not support us. If the Bloc members want to do the work, they should help us with electricity and our efforts.

Mr. Speaker, climate change is a reality. We are fully cognizant of that, and we are working on it. With Canada’s 2030 nature strategy, we plan to protect 30% of our lands and waters, which will help us fight climate change. My colleague mentioned strengthening methane regulations and all the things we are going to do for renewable electricity, renewable energy. These things will help us fight climate change. That is how we will make progress and become economically self-sufficient.
