Thank you very much.
I'll continue with the parts of Bill C‑15 that we have studied.
I have to say that I was particularly disappointed with the changes that were made with respect to greenwashing. In previous budget implementation bills, an amendment was made to the Competition Act to regulate advertising related to greenwashing. When a claim was made, it had to be supported by a credible study. In addition, individuals were given the power to bring civil proceedings under that amendment.
Bill C‑15 removes that. Claims no longer need to be supported by studies, and individuals no longer have the right to sue. Even the lawsuits that had already started were dropped.
I noticed something funny when I watched the news on television: as soon as Bill C‑15 was tabled, I started seeing the Pathways Alliance ads promoting oil and pipelines again.
Why did you choose to back down on that?
