Mr. Speaker, the government needs to enforce the law and keep these jobs in Canada.
After years of being ignored and dismissed by the Conservative government, today Canada's environment commissioner delivered his final report to Parliament. New Democrats would like to thank the environment commissioner for his service.
The commissioner's final report is stark. Under Conservatives, environmental protection is not keeping pace with resource development. In Canada polluters are no longer required to pay for the pollution they create.
Why are the Conservatives letting big polluters off the hook and sticking taxpayers with the bill to clean up the environment?
