Jenny Kwan, Vancouver East
Linked statement
“The Prime Minister is ignoring environmental groups and Indigenous leaders who disagree with him. He needs to stop silencing people and protect the environment.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister told Canadians, “we don’t want to hear what people are against; we want to hear what they’re for”. He has abandoned the environment. He is gaslighting environmental groups that have been calling for renewable energy for decades. No wonder the former environment minister resigned and Liberal MPs feel they can raise their concerns only anonymously. This is an authoritarian approach, not democracy. Will the Prime Minister stop his bullying tactics, the sidelining of indigenous leaders who dare to disagree with him, or do they need to do what Danielle Smith is doing: threaten to hold a referendum to separate from Canada?”
