This is one of the things that I think undermines Canadians' trust in government.
I just want to quickly read for you the first lines of the environment commissioner's report: “Implementation of measures in the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan remains insufficient to meet Canada's target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% to 45% below 2005 levels by 2030.”
The environment commissioner is very clear. We are not on track to meet our targets. We've heard this again and again from Liberal politicians. It's deeply concerning to me to hear officials also saying that line that we are on track to meet our targets, when report after report shows that we are not on track.
In fact, we must make up what you call a “small gap” but what is a significant gap between what we are currently headed toward and what we need to get to if we want to meet our international obligations and really do our part in contributing to a climate-safe future.
