“I'm spending billions of taxpayer dollars on green programs and I want you to know how hard I'm working.”
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Hon. Julie Dabrusin
Dabrusin dodges questions by listing environmental programs, rarely giving specifics on their impact or admitting any shortcomings. She paints the Liberals as climate leaders no matter the context, and frequently tries to change the subject to minor positive news rather than addressing criticism directly.

Climate Change
“We must fight climate change. Our government is doing that. We strengthened methane regulations. We are investing to protect nature. We are helping other countries fight climate change. We are getting it done.”
“We're the government that's actually doing things about climate change, unlike that other guy who's just complaining. Also, we're making a power grid. I won't directly address his pipeline point.”
“We are fighting climate change. We will stay the course. Look, we have an auto strategy. We will reduce greenhouse gases and create jobs. We are protecting nature. We have methane regulations to reduce emissions by 400 megatonnes. We are getting the job done.”
“I want to protect the environment. I want our government to fight climate change. We have a nature strategy. It's a big investment. We put in methane rules. People in other countries think we're doing well. We want to keep going. I hope other people will agree and support us.”

“I want to change the subject to international spending instead of defending our oil subsidy. Maybe if I list other environmental programs it will distract from the carbon storage tax credit he criticized.”
“I think we're doing a lot to fight climate change. We passed some rules and have a plan for electric cars. It's all going great. We don't need to do anything else.”
