The Environment

During question period on the environment, the Bloc Québécois said the government had broken its climate commitments, pointing to the pipeline agreement with Alberta, the end of environmental impact assessments, and offshore drilling near protected areas, and asked how the government defends its record. The Liberal reply pointed to a nature strategy to protect lands and waters, an electricity strategy to support grid development, and measures to help Canadians buy electric vehicles.Written by AI from the debate.

“The Liberals broke their climate promises by backing pipelines, offshore drilling, and ending environmental reviews. People are even suing the government over it. I want to know how the Liberals can still defend the Prime Minister.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, the event of the year is the Liberals’ climate betrayal. Their record includes the pipeline agreement with Alberta. It includes ending environmental impact assessments. It includes pipelines and offshore drilling with no regard for protected areas or endangered species. It includes the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie’s resignation. It includes three young Canadians and two groups of ecologists suing the federal government for giving up any hope of achieving net zero. That is their record. How can the Liberals keep defending the Prime Minister?

Mr. Speaker, our record includes a nature strategy that is going to protect lands and waters across the country. It also includes an electricity strategy that fulfills Hydro‑Québec’s requests and that will support electrical grid development, which is so critical for implementing measures to fight climate change. It includes a tax credit and rebates to help Canadians buy electric cars. Our record attests to the work we are doing to fight climate change.
