“I oppose this bill. It removes environmental checks for pipelines and lets companies ignore environmental laws. It is the worst bill for the environment in Canadian history.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister just returned from the United Nations, where Secretary-General Guterres once again implored countries to phase out fossil fuels. Meanwhile, Canada introduced Bill C‑39, which gets rid of impact assessments for pipeline projects and makes it possible to permanently circumvent environmental laws. Greenpeace and Environmental Defence called it the “Bulldoze Nature” bill. Ecojustice called the bill catastrophic. No other bill in Canadian history has been worse for the environment. How can the Liberals sleep at night after defending such a bill?”

“I oppose this bill. It removes a five-year limit and lets the government ignore environmental laws for oil projects forever. The Liberals are using the tariff war as an excuse to help oil companies and make the climate crisis worse.”

“Mr. Speaker, I would remind the House that, using Bill C-5, the Prime Minister gave himself the power to suspend environmental laws for his oil projects. Luckily, the Bloc Québécois managed to limit that abuse to five years. According to the Liberals, it was all in a bid to combat Donald Trump. Bill C-39 removes this five-year limit and allows the application of environmental laws to be suspended indefinitely. Why are the Liberals using the tariff war as a pretext to exacerbate the climate crisis and line the pockets of the oil companies?”
