Mr. Speaker, I would like to get back to the economic benefits of combatting climate change.
A study by the OECD and the Pembina Institute confirmed that natural resource development without regard for the environmental consequences is harmful to Canada's economic development.
The Conservatives' approach will be detrimental, not helpful, to Canada's economic development. In fact, it is already hurting our development. The Conservatives' focus on oil and gas is having a negative impact on Canada's economy by creating socio-economic disparities across Canada. That comes from the OECD, which is pretty significant.
We have a clear plan. We want to combat climate change and promote a diverse, sustainable economy, for the good of our environment.
What will the member do to ensure that we have better economic diversification and environmental protections in order to stimulate Canada's economic development?
