Thank you.
I don't know of another time when we've been so dependent on looking at what the Americans are doing, but the Biden administration is really setting the mark for whether we are going to be in the game or not.
Recently, the Biden administration did something very surprising. They put a pause on LNG. President Biden said that the pause on new LNG “sees the climate crisis for what it is: the existential threat of our time”. We know that LNG is 90% methane and that there's a lot of leakage along the whole way.
Then he said that the Republicans who were supporting ever-expanding fossil fuel infrastructure “willfully deny the urgency of the climate crisis”. I certainly know that my colleagues in the Conservatives are there, but I guess I'm going to ask you this: Is Canada willing to put a moratorium on LNG because of the issues of methane and the leakage and the fact that we are having to deal with the climate crisis at every level?
