Will oil and gas companies be invited to participate in future meetings? Yes? Okay.
I want to read a quote that struck me today. It comes from the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Gutteres:
Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.
I'm repeating this quote because, for the past 15 years, the federal government has very rarely listened to social and environmental movements. However, we know that the federal government listens carefully to a strong oil and gas lobby.
Isn't your consideration of the just transition somewhat tainted by the wishes of oil and gas producers?
