Thank you, Madam Chair.
I will continue with the scientific aspect.
Mr. Bali, we need to have this discussion. I think we will agree.
You said that science-based decisions had to be made, and you mentioned one criterion, the increase in greenhouse gases. Earlier, I gave examples of technological neutrality. The government purchased a $34-billion piece of infrastructure, the Trans Mountain pipeline. Through it, we will produce 300,000 barrels a day, and that number will increase to 890,000 barrels. That's a 200% increase. Greenhouse gas emissions will go from 21 million to 26 million tonnes a year. Personally, I have rarely seen environmental activists driving a Hummer. However, I get the impression that this is what the government is trying to make us believe.
As a scientist, do you think it makes sense to increase greenhouse gas emissions from 21 million to 26 million tonnes a year while paying lip service to plastics recycling?
